17yrs here in Doha and not once ive had any of these experiences thankfully.. Somehow I just dont get some of these stories like the ghost on the bed or the dead nurse n stuff... But I guess people saw these things and they are real !!!

Cannot remember the exact location but rumour had it that there was a double level villa somewhere on the right going down to the airport that was haunted. Old airport area.

I watched the video and it's a fake! If you run it fast, you"ll recognize a cut before the ghost enters the wall. If you run it slow, you'll see that it enters in a different height, than it is supposed to when looking at the flying curve!

I doubt that this video is real! And the shadow is very perfidious!

But don't get me wrong, I am amazed how many people have experience in this field and I am sure that there are things going on, not everyone can see! I just don't trust videos on that subject, as there was no proven videotaping of a ghost anywhere in ther world up to now, that I have heard of.

Yea its very similar to what i had, that nurse also hanged herself inside her dorm. But you know they are harmless to us. The only dangered we had is when we ALL (5-nurses)together runned into the door...2 amongst us banged their head on the edge of the door and one fall on the floor. Otherwise they dont harm people. I am more scared of Alive Ghost than the Dead.

That is really so sad, it is not enough that these people did not find happiness while they were alive .. so they are still hoping or seking happiness while they are dead :(

Sitting on the end of his bed ... that reminds me with a story happened to me when i was in Palestine. I slept in front of my bedroom outside at 4:50 or 5:00 in the afternoon. I was trying to sleep on my right side instead of sleeping on my back ... I tried to turn my body, but felt that something heavy was there on my legs ...

I could barley open my eyes .. but i opened them later so widely because it was almost 8:00 and it was dark ... and there were that big black cat [Do all black creatures love me?]. I pulled my legs so quickly and sit on the mattress trying to figure out .. if that was a cat or a dog .. but it was really a cat .. it does not move any further, staring at me .. My hair on my hands were up and i felt like i could not move or speak .... He really surprised me ... to wake up and find such a thing sleeping on your legs? you can't blame me ..

I was asking him to leave, i found my slipper beside me ... was swinging with that thing in the air ... but nothing happens. Sitting like before and looking at me .. I stand up and looked at him again .. I knew that it is not normal so I did not even intend to harm him .. I went to my room while he was sitting there ... I looked out of the window and he was still there looking at the window like he knows!!! .. I switched on the outside lights and come out to find nothing ... It disappeared like if it was not there at all ...

regarding the labors camp , ... they were finding these people every morning ... ok let;s post it in another thread ...

Apple that's a similar story to one from my University. My Uni is the oldest in Canada and we have lots of ghosts. My brother, who was also at the uni, used to see a woman sitting at the end of his bed every night for a month after he moved into the dorm room. She would sit there and cry. Apprantely she was a maid who had fallen in love with a Naval officer who was stationed (the navy officers took over my uni during both World Wars) and he was sent to Europe and died and she was left behind pregnant so she hung herself from the stairwell of the dorm. Every year that they get a new batch of male students she visits them to see if any are her returned fiancee.

These sad stories happened because some of these kids were either buried alone and while these people are dead, then there should be a secret behind those stories. Some people get buried beside bad people who are getting some kind of punishment in their graves and the can't take it ...

There were a lot of stories and they told me most of the ghosts that you see are because of the people who were killed for nothing during the old wars and problems. Qatar location comes in between different countries were people were always fighting, either the Persian, Roman or the Turkish Empire ...

Another story were in Shahanya .. it happened to my cousin's neighbor which works as a police man. Once he was going with his friend to Shahanya in a regular working patrol. They were rushing to go somewhere there and the car speed were like 160 - 180 .. All of a sudden and out of no where ... they saw a man crossing the road wearing white clothes .., another car was coming from the other side so they could not evade the man or go to the other side ... when his friend saw the situation he told him .. keep going and they did .. after that they were looking at each other, ..did you feel something? I did not even felt that I hit something ... and when he looks at the back seat .. he saw that man sitting so peacefully there .. so .. in that time it was a real accident .. He freaked out and turn the whole steering wheel to the other side with that speed so the car turned over and make a few jumps all over the street until it stops ... I know this guy and saw him in the hospital .. no need to mention his name ...

I personally had experienced seeing whitelady. That took place in the hospital backhome. Alot of stories I heard from fellow nurses and even from the patients themselves regarding this, I used not to believe at all and not scared from this till i saw it with my own eyes. I was night duty 11pm-7am. around 1 or 2 am, the electric supply was down "Black out!". I was assigned in Delivery room which is adjacent to operating room. While waiting for the generator supply of electricity having chit-chat w/ fellow nurses at the nursing station, out of a sudden a whitelady like a shadow was dancing and moving down the corridor, I asked my midwife did you see what i'm seeing? she said yes! and she started to catch my arm. I asked same question to the other nurses. And that I confirmed from them that whitelady was seen by alot of employees in that hospital. When we saw the whitelady approaching us we start running out of the nursing station(5 scared nurses). Loool! that was real funny/scary experience. The next day it was a non-stop story for all. Then I learnt from our senior staff that there was a female nurse who took her own life inside her dormitory (just beside the hospital) because the male doctor she loved, who made her pregnant too did not intend to marry her. And from that then start her adventures. What i'm trying to say here is that i'm one of those who believe that they truly exist!

Btw, Darude I know that house in AlKhor, is the one about 300meters from the road and when you are going to Shamal it is on your right hand side?

there is another one that my friend show me in Dubai .. I don't know if he still have it, .. but these guys are a metal band known as 'nervecell' and you can expect anything to happen to these guys who get into that path because they do everything. That video were showing [on the beach in the night] some flying black objects like the shadows or smoke .. they were flying slowly and change from time to time to go fast and then back to slow ... there were like 2 or 3 of them I can't remember .. and .. I don't know what to say ... the guys were watching those speechless ... they told me that we thought that it was being drunk effect, but we check it in the morning and it was real ..

Will see if i can get that one too ... there is another story about those guys who were dying in Ras Lafan or in Al Shamal in the labor camp, .. every morning they find a labor dead and .... etc ..

That one was filmed in Al - Wakrah i guess or in Al - Khour ..those two places especially the last one is famous and got a lot of ghosts roaming there ... if you were unlucky .. you would see 1 or 2 in the night. Just make sure that you would be in that area behind the Khour corniche , go inside to the end of that road where people have their tents and camps there .. and you will see ...

Regarding the black dog, .. read my long post .. that dog is in Al - Wakrah and when i returned back home that day my cousin asked my why do you look so pale like that? Did you see him? and i was like ..see who? So he asked me again .. you passed beside that graveyard and saw that black dog, right? I asked him how did you know? He told me that he saw him once before too.

To be honest .. for the first time in my life i see such a big and so calm big black dog with yellow eyes .... and where? near the graveyard ...

I wasn't accusing you of faking it King Edshel! I was asking where you found it and if you know where it was filmed. What Big Black Dog?

did fake that video. I might be good at computers, but not in multimedia stuff like cut, copy and paste to make a complete video. Faking such stuff does not worth the effort and time that these people spend to fake those ...

If you want Gypsy .. we can try to hunt that Big Black Dog someday .. I don't know why, but i feel like going there again and see what is his problem :)

It is a kid ghost, .. I did not say that it is scary. Just to show that these guys do exist. You can click on the link down there and it would open yousendit website link. Click on download to see that video, but it is a '.3gp' because it was on a mobile.

We have one in our home.

It is a friendly one though.

When my daughter was born my wife had an emergency Caesarean section [the baby was 9lb 11oz - 4.4kg]

We lived and slept in the living room as Jan could not get upstairs.

The room would regularly have a scent that we can only describe as an old fashioned ladys perfume.

I would smell it and in the next breath it would be gone, but then the Jan would smell it, then it would be gone.

Also we were forever finding long grey hairs on the baby, but we don't know anyone with long grey hair and the clothing was all brand new from different packaging.

As they got better it all stopped.

But some years later when my daughter was ill it all started again, then stopped again when she recovered.

When my son was born, you've guessed it, it sterted again, grey hairs and the same smell everywhere.

And my son was really ill and was hospitalized the hairs and scent happened before he went into hospital and when he came home.

Now get this.

My 3 year old niece was visiting us with her Mum and wanted to use the loo.

As her Mum was holding our new baby I took her up the stairs to make sure she was safe and waited for her where my stairs turn.

When she came out of the bathroom she just stood there looking at our bedroom doorway saying "is the lady coming down stairs with us?".

The hairs went up on the back of my neck.

"What lady ?" I said.

She walked to my bedroom doorway with her eyes fixed on where someones eyes of adult height would be.

"This lady, she is nice" she said pointing to her "face".

I was rooted to the spot but got her to come to me and I carried her down the stairs shaking.

She hasn't been around for a while, but then again no one has been I'll for a while.

It dun't really matter.

Never heard of that one before, seems to be interesting. Most probably will find this one in the upper part of Qatar. I mean from the middle to the north, I hope so ... but locating such a thing is impossible. If it is a village then you have to find it because it would never find you. In Wakrah again I was sleeping in the vacation in my Uncle's home and before the dawn I told my cousins going to have a run near the sea.

I went alone and it was still dark, near the graveyard next to the beach there before you actually reach the marine. I stopped for a while and closed my iPod and start praying. There were on that turn next to the graveyard wall a very big black dog. I never see something like that before .. you should see that thing to know how big was it. He got a yellow eyes and don't tell me how was I able to tell, but everything about that dog was abnormal.

He was looking at me, setting on that corner blocking the way. I did not know what to do, Should I run or should I stay. The strange thing about it was that it does not yip at all. I decide to run away when I saw that thing standing and walking towards me so slowly like saying: to wherever you will run, I'll get you .. I ran to the Marine from the opposite direction and never look back .. when the sun rises I decided to go back home because I knew that I would never see that dog there again and it was.

Still can't forget those eyes ... It was a living nightmare.

if you have just tell me. How are you doing man? long time no see .. There is something that might be even worse than ghosts that can do nothing but to freak you out. There is the mothman, I've seen that when i was at my cousins house in Wakrah .. You will see a black thing and sometimes you will feel that this thing will kill you while you are sleeping. That one really made my hands hair step up when i saw it ... You can't have a look at his face or identify it, but what i saw was a black creature in the same size of an adult man .. running in the big dark hall while we were watching TV.

there are a lot of stories and if you want some places those are some.

Um Al Hol [near Wakrah] - Shahanyea - Al Khour - Al Shamal.

It is very common here to see such places because of early days where people were killed and were buried like that. If you did not see the video of that kid in wakrah then let me look for it and send it to you.

Two guys were recording a video using one of the mobile cam, and while he was recording that and his friend was talking him [he was sitting close to a house] out of no where a small kid ran behind him and jumped into the wall. Hid friend were freaked out and start shouting oh my god , ..did you see that? Someone ran behind you and jumped in the wall.

I got a lot of stories, but let's talk about it later. When the night comes and you know that you would be the only one reading this ... :)
