I think I am too closed off to have an experience like that. I am glad I am though! It terrifies me to think of seeing an apparition, even a friendsly one. I do not like the thought of anyone watching me! lol.
My cousins have see quite a few ghosts. One lives in my cousins basement laundry room. She has seen his "reflection" in the dryer and has seen him watching her work out from the doorway to her basement workout room; she now keeps the door closed. Creepy!
My other cousin has smelled my grandmother in our family cabin and it brought her comfort. She has had a bunch of crazy experiences.
My brother in law was on a tractor once, working in a field, and saw a little girl floating through the field. He said it was as if she was not walking- just floating. He hightailed it out of there!
My husband was hanging out with his friends when he was a teen and kept hearing footsteps on the stairs even though nobody else was home. He saw something move out of the corner of his eye and then the vcr suddenly spit out the video tape while everyone was sitting on the couch. He is sure it was a ghost.
These are tales from people I feel are solid and would not lie. I do believe in ghosts but I have never had any personal experience and sure hope I never do!!
