In reply to the discussion: Have you ever seen a ghost? [View all]But first I want to say I absolutely don't believe in ghosts or anything paranormal at all.
The first time I was about 5 years old at my grandmother's funeral. Afterward, we went back to some aunt's house for a get together. It was in the basement but I got bored and wandered upstairs, and was about to go up to the second floor and there was my grandmother at the top of the stairs. Kind of all ghosty looking--all white with at tinge of blue and gauzy. I hoofed it back to the basement where the grownups were. Of course, it could have been some other old aunt or whatever who just went to bed...
The second was just a couple of years ago. We were on a cruise, inside cabin, and the only light was the bit of light from the hall coming in the door. It was the middle of the night and I woke up and I swear there were two dark shapes standing at the edge of our bed. I looked for a second and then they went away because I guess I woke up and was maybe dreaming it. The next night my wife had a nightmare (which she never has) that there was a ghost in our room and it was chasing us. I didn't tell her about my dream the night before until we got home so she wouldn't have another nightmare, but we decided our cabin must have been haunted. So if you're on the Carnival Vista in cabin 9324 be on the lookout!
I will say that I love to be scared and I love waking up at night thinking I'm seeing shadow people. I heard about them as a youngster on the old Art Bell show or something back in like the late 70s or early 80s and they scared me then and now I see them all the time!
