Today, I was heading to the bathroom when I clearly saw a little boy walking into my bedroom. My wife and I live alone, and I screamed at the top of my lungs, thinking he was a ghost. Turns out my wife collected him from school for a friend, and I just didn't hear them arrive. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I came home late from work. As I got out of my car, I noticed a child-shaped silhouette in my bedroom window. I almost shat myself, since I live alone. I searched the whole house, sobbing in fear, only to find no trace of whatever or whoever I'd seen. FML
Today, I went downstairs a little after midnight to grab a snack, and in the dark hallway, I clearly saw a small child walk into the kitchen. I was freaked out, but I followed him in. There was nobody in the room. I'm now too scared to sleep, and am seriously considering moving house. FML
Today, I was visiting my friend's new house and he was showing me around. I saw a small door in the wall and decided to open it. When I opened it, his daughter was hiding in there and screamed to scare me. Now I know my scream is more high pitched than his daughter's. I'm a 37 year old male. FML
Today, I was home alone. I didn't expect anyone to be anywhere near home, so when I got out of the shower, I walked to the living room, naked, to get the tv remote for my room. Only to find the UPS guy standing at our glass front door. I screamed... so did he. FML
Today, I walked into my near pitch-black bathroom and saw a person staring back at me. I woke my whole family up with my screams. The person was my reflection. FML
Today, I was woken up by the sound of someone in my room. I started freaking out, thinking someone had broken in, so I kicked them, only to realise it was my boyfriend coming back from the toilet. I'd forgotten he was staying over. FML
Today, I woke up to a stranger in my bed. Just as my parents responded to my screaming, I remembered that I'd helped my boyfriend sneak in through my window last night. FML
Today, I was walking to the kitchen in the dark. Something caught my eye and I turned to see a man standing in the corner, clear as day. I jumped and closed my eyes for a split second. When I opened them, he was nowhere to be seen. I'm now terrified to live in my own home. FML
Today, after waiting to get home to go to the bathroom, my six year old neighbor popped out and literally scared the shit out of me. FML
Today, my 10-year-old son told my 5-year-old daughter that we're a ghost family, and told her to run through our glass door to see for herself. She believed it, ran straight into the door, and ended up having to be taken to hospital. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I would've done the same thing. I've seen to many scary movies to know a little young boy in your house is a bad sign.

That's what I would've thought. Oh wait, I wouldn't have thought that. Cause it's kinda stupid, and this is a kid saying that

You do know there is no such thing as ghosts right?

And what kind of proof do you have to denounce the existence of ghosts?

In this thread: two fools spewing logical fallacies and a chick who just got told Santa isn't real. OfficeNinja: it's a disgrace you got thumbed down like that and it makes me sad that the people who did that somehow smuggled internet-ready devices into their cells at the mental institution. Weird to see such crappy security.

93- I don't think any of us are in a position to denounce people's beliefs, and then call them clinically insane for it. People are entitled to their beliefs, if not anything else. It's like me calling Noor a crazy terrorist because ignorant extremists in her religion kill people 'In the name of Islam'. Both unfounded and unfair. Now, I'm not saying ghosts do or don't exist, though I have an open mind, and am not suprised by much; I'm saying that regardless of how anyone feels, we should respect people's beliefs, and get past a few petty disagreements. Live and let live.

@61 The complete absence of proof that they do exist? You seem to understand the concept of burden of proof backwards.

#61: Burden of proof. Imagine a scenario in which the OP, for some reason, DIDN'T learn the truth behind what he saw. He isn't allowed to just say, "I don't know why it happened, therefore it must have been a ghost." Besides that, though, a few things always bothered me. Things that bear striking resemblances to the sorts of things that might be products of being not-very-well-thought-out fabrications. 1: Why are ghosts always members of cultures with which the ghost-spotter is at least vaguely familiar? It practically seems like ghosts only started appearing around the Victorian era. Aside from a few specific haunts, you never, ever hear anyone say, "And the spectral Babylonian came through the wall..." (Okay, they'd need someone to identify it as such, but with the abundance of "ghost photography" you'd think that'd be pretty easy, right?) 2: Why are ghosts clothed? Do clothes have souls too, then? If they can just bring whatever they want with them, why is that all they have? 3: Lastly, why are ghosts always so darn eager to affirm the religious beliefs of whoever happens to see them? Any time they're reported to make any reference to religious/spiritual issues at all, it always happens to reinforce the ghost-spotter's existing beliefs - usually Christianity, but not always. Are ghosts Unitarians?

See, know you're not going to be able to properly react when it really IS the ghostly remains of a murdered child.
