I've yet to rationalise our "ghost" I've mentioned our story on here before, but I can now offer an update.

We live in a semi detached, the type that had a driveway along the side of the house to a detached garage. We had a solid door across the gap between the house and the garage, separating drive from garden, it was impossible to enter the garden without opening this door. From the kitchen there was a frosted glass door leading onto the drive and a window and a glazed door through which you can see into the garden. We regularly saw a man sized shadow pass the drive door at walking pace, which then passed the window. This should be impossible as the garden door was always bolted and padlocked.

Update: This year we have demolished the old garage and built a new one connected to the house. At the rear of which there is a short corridor linking the kitchen to the garage, a small bathroom and egress to the garden. Now as well as the occasional shadow, in the corridor, we also get the 1 hour internal garage fire door slowly opening and closing completely on its own. This door is fitted with a self closing device so doesn't open in a draft of which there aren't any strong ones when all other windows and doors are closed.

It's not scary, just odd and I can't explain it.

HAd a couple of birthdays on friday 13th, and never realy had any bad luck on any other friday 13th either.
Now on the subject of ghosts, my parents have one at their house. we believe its my grandfather...he only comes at a time when theres family upheaval and dispute. We never had a ghost there til he died, and hes been around for a good 15 yrs now. He first appeared when everyone was asleep( including the cat) in the kitchen, you could hear switches being turned on and cups moving around the work surfaces, footsteps on the floor, and kettle boiling, we all heard these goings on seperatly at first and blamed each other for getting up and making midnight snacks ( back then we were all still at home). Then my brother and dad heard it at the same time, but when they got to the kitchen and there was nothing there.
So 'grandad' after being rumbled progressed to my parents bedroom, where strangely he'd rattle the suitcase handles on their wardrobes, after a while they got used to it, to the point where my dad used to tell the spook to fook off regularly.
Since we all moved out and theres the parents left he only appears when theres a family crisis on the cards...hes been when my other grandad was to die, and also when my dad took ill, and when i fell out with my ex....very spooky and unexplainable

We, as a family must be tuned into spooks, or at least my dad, as when he got married my grandmother stood at the end of the bed on my parents wedding night( she'd died some yrs previous of cancer) he told her not to worry and that he'd look after my mum...then asked what the winner was in tomorrows race......and she vanished, as if she was satisfied with the answer

WEIRD

I'm not superstitious, I find it brings me bad luck.

I know it shouldn't annoy me for any reason. But it really does

you wish DD
