It can be a real or made up one. I just like to read ghost stories. This is just one I found to start the thread off:

This story didn't happen to me, but to very good friends of my family. They were raised strict Catholics and would never make something up like this. The family that this happened to had a little boy named Ryan. He was about three years old. At this time, they lived in a tiny apartment high above an old house named Rock Ford that has been there since the early 1700s.

Rock Ford once belonged to an extremely wealthy family that eventually died out over the years, and our friends ended up as the caretakers. A lot of weird things were said to have happened there, such as spigots turning on water when nobody was there to turn them on, lights flickering on and off, strange whistling noises coming from the old barn when it was locked up tight and nobody was inside. On one occasion, the family was expecting guests and heard many voices and footsteps plodding up the staircase to their apartment door. The mother went out to greet them only to find that nobody was on the stairs at all. In fact, nobody was anywhere in the house or outside in the driveway.

One day, while the family was scattered about the many rooms doing their chores, young Ryan wandered into an empty room by himself. His mother heard him talking to someone and assumed he was just playing. Then Ryan tottered into her room and told her of "the man wearing the blue coat, hat and rifle." Startled, Ryan's mother rushed into the room only to find it empty. She scoured the entire house only to come up with no explanation. Later on, she asked Ryan what the man had said to him. He replied simply, "The man said he was so very cold, so I told him to wait there until I got you to get him a blanket."

There were some further incidences, and eventually the family moved out. Sometimes I will drive down that lonely dark road and look at the house that now stands vacant, wondering if something unknown is staring back at me....

Interesting stories.

My aunt told me recently that weird things have been happening at her house. You see, my grandmother past away this year and one morning my aunt found a picture of my grandmother on the floor, it had fallen off the mantle and the glass broken. Then she couldn't find the shower drain stopper until she opened the lid of the toliet - it was in there. A glass display has also been tampered with, but I don't exactly remember what happened.
Last weekend I had visited my aunt's house when other odd things had happened -- but right now my memory escapes me. sweatdrop

So yeah, it may be a possibility that my grandmother is fooling around in my aunt's house xd

Once there was an old woman who went out in the woods to dig up some roots to cook for dinner. She spotted something funny sticking out of the leaves and dug around until she uncovered a great big hairy toe. There was some good meat on that toe which would make a real tasty dinner, so the old woman put it in her basket and took it home.

When she got back to her cottage, the old woman boiled up a kettle-full of hairy toe soup, which she ate for dinner that night. It was the best meal she'd had in weeks! The old woman went to bed that night with a full stomach and a big smile.

Along about midnight, a cold wind started blowing in the tops of the trees around the old woman's house. A large black cloud crept over the moon and from the woods a hollow voice rumbled: "Hairy toe! Hairy toe! I want my hairy toe!" Inside the house, the old woman stirred uneasily in her bed and nervously pulled the covers up over her ears.

From the woods there came a stomp-stomp-stomping noise as the wind whistled and jerked at the treetops. In the clearing at the edge of the forest, a hollow voice said: "Hairy toe! Hairy toe! I want my hairy toe!" Inside the house, the old woman shuddered and turned over in her sleep.

A stomp, stomp, stomping sound came from the garden path outside the cottage. The night creatures shivered in their burrows as a hollow voice howled: "Hairy toe! Hairy toe! I want my hairy toe!" Inside the house, the old woman snapped awake. Her whole body shook with fright as she listened to the angry howling in her garden. Jumping out of bed, she ran to the door and barred it. Once the cottage was secure, she lay back down to sleep.

Suddenly, the front door of the cottage burst open with a bang, snapping the bar in two and sending it flying into the corners of the room. There came the stomp, stomp, stomping noise of giant feet walking up the stairs. Peeping out from under the covers, the old woman saw a massive figure filling her doorway. It said: "Hairy toe! Hairy toe! I want my hairy toe!"

The old woman sat bolt upright in terror and shouted: "I ATE your hairy toe!"

"Yes, you did," the giant figure said very gently as it advanced into the room.

No one living in the region ever saw the old woman again. The only clue to her disappearance was a giant footprint a neighbor found pressed deep into the loose soil of the meadow beside the house. The footprint was missing the left big toe.

LOL this was always a funny one that I told to my group when I was a camp counselor. Well it was funny to me but it gave a couple of the kids nightmares of their toes being eaten for some reason. I'm trying to remember some other bad ghost stories. xd

(part two)
The mom knew the ghost was pissed, but her family went anyways, the guy who watched the house while they were gone was watching tv he was about to fall asleep on the couch so he turned off the tv he woke in an hour having the tv on, on the loudest volume it can produce. he turned the tv off again, the same thing happened about three more times to a point where he got up and took the plug out of the socket but he wakes yet again to having the tv blasting and PLUGGED in right after he took it out. So he finally said "Well you can watch tv for an hour but then the tv goes off no more playing" to the ghost. Once the hour passed he turned the tv off, took the plug out and said "Time up we had a deal" in two hours (around 3 a.m.) he wakes to somebody taking the sheets off, pulling his hair, and felt like someone put the AC onto 48 degrees. When the family got back he said to the mom "Im not watching your house no offense but the ghost kept me up"

(part three coming in a few days)

This story is completely and utterly true.

I was in a pub at England and there were rumors of a ghost. Well I have a pack of Skittles and I had them in my hand, and I was just taking one every now and then.
Well I started to notice that they were disappearing too quick. The yellow ones kept disappearing each time I glanced back, and no one was near me. Plus, I was not eating the yellow ones.
It was weird. But yeah. Lesson learned. Always bring candy for your ghostly friends.
