Comments for Mystery Solved: A Ghost That Wasn't: Page 1

Oh, my... I seem to have missed you again, Ari...
50/50 is something to put in coffee (yuck, prefer mine black) NOT something to get enough characters to send a post! Lol

Wherefore art thou my friend Val?

50505050505050505050050505005050

Dear sds,
I appreciate the welcome and the well meaning instructions too 😁, but as you know, we all got things to do that we gotta do 😐
So very often than not, I find myself unable to visit you, my wonderful companions of the other realm 🤔
As I had said earlier, it is a bitter-sweet feeling to know that one's been missed...

Regards & Respect to you too my friend.

Dear Ari,

Welcome back. My special hello to you. I know its not your doppelganger and we all missed you and your comments. Try to be regular, at least from now on.

Regards and respects to you.

SDS

My dear Holmes,
This is no doppelganger, but your very own bumbling-stumbling Watson.
I am so sorry that I couldn't visit more often, but it really tenders my heart to know that I've been missed.

❤ ❤ ❤

Ari! Is that you I see posting? Or is it your doppelganger? I've missed you!

I missed out Mississippi & Iowa.
Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia also remained under threat, forecasters said. 😢

Friends in Faulkner County, Pulaski County, White County, Arkansas, & Oklahoma, Louisiana, Kansas, are you doing alright?

Dear Griff84,
Nice to make your acquaintance too 😁
So nice of you to take interest in my 'no-ghost' story 😉
Will try to be here more frequently.

Regards

Val,
I am a bum. But I tryin to get a job.😐
For that I need ta study about them. 😆

Regards

I'm doing alright, Ari. You know, I don't think you've ever said what you were studying?

Hello Sceptic-Ari, your welcome 😉 nice to finally speak with you as you have been dormant since I joined this site in November 😊

Oh Holmes 😳
I've missed you too!Alas!my studies keep me away sometimes for long 😢

So let's belt out a hit Broadway song about friendship bro style or maybe a Bollywood song and dance routine!

How've you been lately?I'm doin alright.

❤

Dear Miracles,
Appreciate the welcome and the 'security' 😉
How are things going?

Love & Regards

Dear Katfromthepast22,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on my real-life story 😐
I am sorry though that you were disappointed with it. Perhaps you might find my Grandpa's story interesting and worth your time. Please refer to my other post.
And sorry for the late reply. I am a li'l slow up there 😳

Regards

Lol. Love this story! A very good example of what your mind can think is going on and here is a very non-paraormal explanation! Thanks for this submit. In needed a good laugh! 😆

And where have you been, dear Watson? I have missed you THIIIIIIIS much!

Yoohoo...Holmesey...where are youuuuuu?

Ah...there you are 😊

Dear Miracles,
I know for sure you guys get/got/gotten 😆 everyone's back... If you know what I mean 😉

Just stating the obvious.

Regards

Dear SpooksAcademy247,
Thank you for commenting.
Hope you liked my story.

Regards

Sceptic-Ari - welcome back! 😊 And your back is always got/gotten/watched? Whatever it is it is LOL

Dear Miracles & Griff84,
Thanks for looking out for me 😁
Sorry I've been away for such a long time 😐

Regards

Pssst guys! I am back 😳 😉 😊

So blast awayyyyyy...

50505050505050

Katfromthepast22 - please take into consideration, before chastising one of our members, the fact that they didn't publish their story. Sceptic-Ari did nothing more than submit his story. We, the mods, published it. If you feel a hand should be smacked, then it is our hand, not his.

But, in all honesty, this is one story that needed to be told as Griff and many others have stated. Ari didn't fill his story with a lot of unbelievable nonsense. He told it honestly. You may not appreciate it, but the rest of us do.

Thank you for your opinion.

To be honest Katfromthepast22, I appreciate stories like this one. They remind everyone that not everything that happens without an initial explanation is paranormal. Sometimes it takes a little detective work to find the cause is usually something you wouldn't have even considered in a million years.

Thanks for your post Sceptic-Ari 😁

I'm glad it wasn't a real ghost or anklet wearing dame or anything like that (and I'm sure you are too), but please if you don't have a real ghost story don't post it. Thank you.

I've heard the anklet-like sounds made by those insects playing lady ghosts,too,in my village. They had me fooled too, for quite a while until I learned the truth about them from a villager (although she believed in real ghosts too). 😁

I am here my dear Holmes. Was away for a while and may have to be away again. Some examinations coming up. Will keep on checking this site anyway. Might not get time to comment or reply.Ugh!the books! 😭

Ari - where are you? Did your ISP give up the ghost again? (Forgive the pun - but I couldn't resist.)

Found it.

Guys (& Val). Its about a belt.
I don't have anything to say about the story, but if it has been stolen from YGS, I want to draw the authority's attention:

Http://www.yourghoststories.com/real-ghost-story.php?story=6501

Check out the comments section too.

Ari, do you recall anything about the story? Topic or anything?

I have a news on something very important;

There is an Indian TV show which seems to steal stories/accounts off the internet from sites such as ours' and televises them as someone else's experience.
I am sure that atleast one such story was siphoned from an Indian member's account. I read it in the comments section too, that people were informing the author about the plagiarism.

Help me find that story?

Lead the way Holmsey. I'll follow.

Up up and awayyyy... Er that's from superman ini't?

Darnit 😉

My dear Watson, you have been sorely missed. There be mysteries afoot. Hey - I just figured you had just missed yourself 😉 You've lots of catching up to do!

My Dear Holmes,
How have you been?
And since you have so graciously forgiven my absence, may I take this opportunity to say thank you for caring so much ❤ 😳

Regards

OOPS 😳
I just realised that I am (bumbling) Watson and I am supposed to apologise to Holmes 😆Megalomania anyone?

First of all dear mamachong, anything from the heart is welcome. I know you mean well. I shall hafta look for raw honey though, as I don't know what is in the jar that I have. Thank you. And I am so sorry for your dogs who passed away. I think they are having fun now wherever they are chasing and chewing.

Dear granny,
Problem solved. The Mod's pardon absolves me of any and every misgivings I suppose😜
Thanks for the encouraging words for Boltu & also for the love.

Regards

Sceptic-Ari,
Had to comment about your loveable pooch. I have had three dogs that had parvo, two died from it, one lived. I went online with the last one, because sadly I couldn't afford the vet. Between paychecks. Anyway, as you well know, becides fluids which yours is on, chicken broth etc.,

Give your dog raw honey. Couple drops every few hours. Be careful about honey that does not say raw, as a lot of honey when cooked looses it's elements. Honey is known for curing lots of things, parvo included. It is natural sugars, it will hike your dogs sugar level, which at this point greatly needed, Look it up if you like. It helped my last doggie survive.

Sorry I'm not trying to sell anything on your page. Just trying to give good advise.

Ari: 😢 There'll be no reprimand from me! You have to take care of your fur babies. Welcome back ❤ nice to hear Boltu is feeling better. He'll be back to normal in no time!

Ari,
Gosh, I'm glad you're back. I was getting worried, especially when even emails went unanswered. No, worries though, I'm sure everyone understands that life happens. The main thing is you're ok and Boltu is on the mend.
Welcome back!
~Val

My apologies to all my well meaning friends on YGS, esp to dear Watson.
I have been absent from this site for a long time now. I do have excuses, but that doesn't exempt me from reprimand.
First of all, I got locked out of my account by either a virus or some other malicious agent which seemed to change my passwords. It is also possible that someone was playing a trick on me.
When I finally accessed all my accounts after over a week, calamity struck.
My pup, who was chewing grass the whole week and throwing up once a day or maybe twice, started spewing like a malfunctioning faucet from both ends. To add to the woes, he started to lose blood too from the nether.
The vet declared an attack of the infamous and fatal Parvo.Thus,no food, no water, only saline drips with heavy dosages of intravenous antibiotics, antacids and anti nausea drugs.
So now, though Boltu is puncture ridden, sporting swollen bum, and half his normal size, he is showing signs of improvement and has eaten a little boiled rice this morning.
Thus I stand here, to receive my well deserved punishment.

hello everyone... How are you all? I was too busy wid my schedule... And ari... Kemon acho?

Ok, Watson, I'm armed with my trusty slingshot. You've really got me intrigued.

My dear Holmes,
You would at the least need your peashooter to just alarm it. Even the formidable khukri is no match to its ferocity.

😐

KK...is it bigger than a bread box? Cause if it is - I gotta get a bigger flyswatter! 😆

Read the story...check.
Give Boltu a bath...check.
Give myself a bath...check.

Here at last...phew.
Val,
I liked the original version, but I assure you that it would've given me the creeps as a kid 😨

The thing is guys, I am not talking about a cricket. Its much bigger 😊
I've posed a few questions to Bluerose on her page. Would you like to follow up there?

Regards

And I had to thank WishfulNull, for praising my mediocre English to the heavens 😁

Ah!The ladies on this site have been so kind on me 😳

See guys 😳

I am clueless here...ok.Lemme read the story first the link to which Val provided.

BRB

Ari, you mean Geppeto, the woodcarver? The original story of Pinocchio are much worse then Disney leads us to believe. Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Pinocchio#Original_story_.28first_half.29
Ummm...might want to sleep with the lights on after reading it.

val, you were exactly right... Ari & I must have posted at the exact same time! Lol... And you're right, I didn't notice until after I saw what you wrote, haha... How do you know me so well already? 😆

awe,too bad you have to go - until next time, worthy opponent! 😆

Dear Val and Miss Riddler,
Although I manage to read and write English, I have to accept that I did not remember the name of Pinocchio's maker. But I have read the story and also might have watched the movie once as a child.

Gotta run.

Regards

Suspects Wishful and ari posted at same time. Wonders if they'll notice and answer each other...
I think you think she thinks that you think that you need more information! 😆

Val,
I think that you think I know what WishfulNull thinks. But believe me if I say that what WishfulNull thinks, and you think that I know, I know something about, but not all what you think WishfulNull is thinking.

You get the drift? 😜

Lol! Yes, Val, I would say that the cat (er, cricket?) is out of the bag 😆

Ari, Awe, but it's so FUN hiding behind the leaves, watching, laughing, and chirping to myself... I wasn't sure if you got my pinocchio/jiminey cricket reference... You are so fluent when you write, and personable, I sometimes forget that you're in a different country and might not have seen American movies! (even a classic, like Pinocchio!)

It certainly seems like there is a species of cricket in India, which sounds exactly what the anklets jingling sounds like... If there is one, I am sure there may be others - if BlueRose's father heard it, the "running away" could have been the cricket flying or jumping further away as it chirped, startled because her dad burst out of the door. Okay, the moment of truth - Was I correct... Was that the theory you were alluding to? 😆

I think that Ari thinks that wishful thinks that ari thinks...jiminy! Anybody confused yet?

Ah!You can't hide behind the veil of the leaves everytime! You might need to gnaw at someone's fearful heart that is on edge,too!

Hm...I don't know about the spine, but it's noises might! In fact, you could say it was the ghost that wasn't...or, am I JUMPING to conclusions...?

Are you finally thinking that you think you know what I thought you were thinking? (gotta love riddles, eh?)

WishfulNull,
Your creature doesn't seem to have the 'spine' to scare humans, at least not Bluerose's father!

Regards

thankz badjuujuu... I pray to god that they are ohk... And save

The phone lines in Moore are probably still down, it might take a little while to get them working again. I'm sure you will hear from them soon. ❤

thankz you so much Badjuujuu for your suport... I haven't got any call from them until now... I m very afraid

Hello Sceptic-Ari
Thanks for replying, the only reason I haven't posted a story is because my typing in not very articulate in my typing method. I work in IT and most of my typing is short hand style. I promise I will post a few stories shortly. I have been a long time reader/lurker of YGS. I only recently made my account.
Cheers Muchly
Loch

I'm sure your relatives will be ok, keep your thoughts positive and hold your loved ones in your prayers. ❤

ohh no... So bad to hear... The tornado was very bad... I have seen in NEWS... I hope my relative are fine there... Please god bless them and other people

It's pretty tragic. So far (according to NBC news) 51 people, including 20 children, are confirmed deceased. The death toll is expected to rise as some people are still missing. I hope they find the missing people alive and unharmed.

hey guys anybody has any idea of the tornado? Which occured in america? Plaese do tell me...

LOL, oh, Fergie, now THAT is funny! I end up asking total strangers for help sometimes.

Lol Val, now you sound like Tinkerbell. So cute!

Once, many years ago, I was reaching for something on the top shelf at the supermarket. Of course, I couldn't quite reach it. My eldest daughter, at that stage shorter than I, offered to take off her shoes and stand on the bottom shelf, to see if she could reach. Unexpectedly, a male arm shot out above our heads, claiming the object of my desire. Both of us whipped around to see who this perpetrator could be. There stood one of the most gorgeous men I have ever seen - with a brilliant smile, he deposited the jar into my hands. Before I could bluster my thanks, he flashed another smile, turned on his heal and strode off.
Nicky declared then and there, that she never wanted to be tall, so that good-looking men could come to Her rescue.

Hmm...Nicky didn't wish hard enough, did she? 😉

Oh...well if I stretch up on tip toe... I can almost reach the bottom shelf of the kitchen cupboard! 😆

Sorry guys, I was off making supper for the family.

OMW Val, you aren't short! You are tiny! Lol, I can call you 'shorty'... I used to be the tallest female in the family at 5'4"...till my daughters grew. They all rounded out at 5'7". Then back injuries and growing older took their toll... Last time I checked (some time back), I was 5'2". So, I can still 'look down' on you.Lol.

Sorry Ari, I have hi-jacked your page, as well as made fun of you...Lol!
😜
But Val is correct; it is the size of a persons heart that counts!

You have a big heart Ari, and it's in the right place. 😁

Well, dang, Fergie, how short are you? I'm like 4'10" ummm...147.32 cm. Do I get to be an amazon? Hmmmm? 😁
It isn't a person's height but the size of their heart that counts in life. 😉

ooooooooooooooohhh...scaryyyyyyyy 😨

Go...Going...Gone

Ari- I would be honored for you to check out my other site. The url is in my profile. But be warned - 'scary' val lurks in some of my tales there.

Phew! 😐

Fergie I was talking about several of your stories, you cute li'l granma ❤ I was just kidding when I said you bully, because I thought you were pulling my leg.

Thanks Val, for clearing it up and telling Fergie what I meant. So much for trying my hand at humour here, on the forum 😆

Thank you and now we can go back to where we were...

Oh Ari! Silly me! Sometimes I take things too literally. I am so sorry! Please forgive me? I would never, NEVER poke fun at you! Also, I think I would be useless at satire. And for the record, I am not big enough to bully anyone Lol! Even my 8 year-old granddaughter takes me up to my chin already.

I honestly never thought there was anything in that particular story to 'strike an emotional chord' as Val so delicately put it. Other stories of mine, yes, but that one?

Once again I crave your forgiveness, for my misunderstanding - some days, I am a little slow on the uptake - must be old age creeping up! 😕

Ooops, sorry, Ari - I was perusing another board. No offense taken here. (Really though, NEVER EVER read Fergie's stories without tissues close at hand!)

Ladies!You on the same page with me?Hello!Please reply and lay my fears to rest!

Dear Fergie,
Val's deduction is right again and that is what I meant.

Val,
I think Fergie understood that too and was pulling my leg.

Gals,I hope I did not offend any of you?

Oh man... Internet humour/satire is so sad... It makes me want to cry 😆

Fergie - I believe Ari means your story struck an emotional chord with him. 😉

Dear Fergie,
Are you taunting me? Poking fun? Trying your hand at satire?
Maybe nothing fell into my eyes, they just got red and swollen due to something else... Why should I tell you?Don't bully me 😜

And yeah I was thinking about checking out Val's other place.

Regards

Oh Ari, I am so sorry. What fell into your eyes? Do you know what it was? Do you think it had something to do with my stories? If so, my abject apologies! I certainly hope that you will not have a re-occurrence of this.

Thank you for your advanced compliment.

BTW: Val has some very interesting stories (and other things) on her site - you should check it out! 😊

My Dear 'Holmes',
Points noted, on the notepad.
And you juggle very well, if you get my drift.
I am not so gifted *sigh*.

Still,I shall try and turn out to be a worthy assistant.

Cheerio

Dear Fergie,
Thank You 😳
And I did not dare to read the story again, only the comments between you and me, because I remember last time after reading your stories, something fell into my eyes and they were so red and swollen afterwards.
Looking forward to your new story though. I am sure that will be another interesting read.

Regards

hello ari... Tomar khotha tao thik... Gore kao nai are awarz asbe toh check toh korte hobe... But still you have gutts to face this type of situation... Very brave huh!

Dear "Watson" *giggles*,
One never knows when insperation will strike or a memory triggered. Might I suggest a small notepad to jot down such things? Personally, I keep two, one for when shared experiences jar memories, and I think I might want to share here, and the other for ideas for stories that I post on another site, that will NEVER be shared here. (Simply because they are either non-paranormal related or a work of fiction and have no place on this site.)
Just a thought.

Lol Ari,

I only give praise, when I think praise is due, as I am sure is the case with other posters as well. So what has been dished out to you, you truly deserve!

Um, I recall you giving your 'short version' on "Angel's House"...if memory serves me correctly.

Yeah Ari, dig into the recesses of your mind, please. I an sure you can ferret out something. We all appreciate your writing.

I have submitted another narrative, which should be posted soon. Not my 'story' per se, but one about my youngest granddaughter. Keep tissues handy!
😉

Dear Meghna,
Thanks for appreciating.
Aami to bhoy peyechhilam khoob. Kintu baarite keu nei. I am the sole protector of the house. Aamake to dekhte hobe, kichhu korte hobe! So I became a detective. Mu ha ha ha ha!

Regards

Dear Loch,
Sorry I took this long to reply.
Thank you for reading and appreciating.
Would love to read your stories too. Do submit one.
And you are absolutely correct in saying that being brave means persevering inspite of fear. I think you might have a lot more to share. Keep posting.

Regards

Aw Fergie!
Stop spoiling me with the praises!Duh! ❤
You are embarrassing me! 😳
Thank you so much for lavishing such accolades on me. Thank you.
Other posters have also been too kind;the proof of which you see in my story's comments section.
And yeah! Time has wings!It's been a long time and I am ashamed I don't recall which story of yours I graced with the 'short version' 😉 Please gimme a hint,okay!
About the part where I write another one of this non-ghost stories... I am seriously running low on fuel Fergie! I do not know whether I have it in me to churn out another. Maybe in the deep recesses of my memory...yeah!
Thank you for reading it. Love you for the comment.
Keep posting...

Regards

Dear Ari,
At last I get a chance to comment on your well written narrative. I remember, almost a year ago, you gave me the 'short version' in a reply to one of my submissions. (Wow! Is it that long ago already? - How time flies!) 😲
I knew you had it in you to deliver another memorable account - congratulations! Just Look at All the favourable posts you have accumulated in response to your story!

Do it again Ari, especially if you can debunk the occurrences. I love it. ❤

hello ari...
While reading only I got gooshbumps... But when I reached the last paragragh and I was like "what!? It was just a CRICKET?"... BUT still nic story I lik it... Are ami chinta korte pari ki jokon tumi oye situation a chile toko tumi kotho boi paye chile... Jodi ami taktam taole ami boi chothe gore bos taktam are bhagvan ner nam nitham...

I really appreciate this story! I do a small amount of amateur paranormal investigating myself and the one thing I have learnt is to approach every situation logically and never to jump to conclusions. I respect you investigated the situation regardless of any fears/doubt. True courage is not to be fearless, but to be afraid yet still press on. It's only human to be afraid of the unknown. Thank you.
Cheers Muchly
Loch

Dear Sonty,
Thank you for liking my story and appreciating through your comment.
Do read my other story too when you find time.

Regards

Nice story. Such thing do happen to people. You cared to investigate so the reality is here. Some body else who wouldn't have investigated, could have turned it into a real ghost experience. Thanks for sharing.

Dear psychicmama,
Glad you enjoyed my story and had a hearty laugh 😁
And yeah, I think I have a fighting chance at defeating a snail in a race 😉
The bravery.Me, not so brave.Nah!
My parents, absolutely fearless in these situations. When I was a kid, about 80 kg ago, whenever I got scared because I thought I saw a scary thing somewhere, or I was frightened to go to some corner of my own little house because I was (am) a chicken, one of them would just pick me up and take me to that scary place and show me around. They would and still do say that,"See.Nothing's there and nothing can touch you."
Thanks for appreciating my writing style.
Do read my other story at leisure...

Regards

Skeptic-Ari: lol ji bilkul sahi pehchana mje apne:D and koi bat nai it's okay, your story was funny at the end and of course mazay ki b 😊 thanks for help!

Dear DelzLdy,
Thanks for reading and appreciating. I swear that everything I wrote is true 😆
Btw,have you read you my other story? Please do if you find time.

Regards

Dear Amie_16,
Gotcha!
See you are such a softy at heart 😜
Don't sweat yourself kiddo. You didn't say anything rude or unkind.
I was apologising because you expected to read a ghost story and I gave you a cricket story instead 😉
Keep posting...

Shuqriya

Dear girlie,
So nice to have struck a chord with you 😁
I got another story too that you could read.
Thanks.

Regards
