Was that a ghost?

[GardenKit]

Does anyone believe in ghosts?

Thats what I thought,......before!

Having spent some time late at night in Hylands House near Chelmsford, I believe in them.

No. As with religion, I would class the seeing of ghosts and other supernatural beings as humans seeking something more, rather than just taking the physical world at face value.

 

The mind is a tremendously powerful and underused (as well as poorly understood) entity. I had epilepsy as a child until the age of 14. Some of my seizures I remember as me watching me, not me looking out. I don't attribute that to some psychic out of body experience, rather as my malfunctioning brain playing silly buggers with me!

Havent seen one personally but have worked with a couple of people who have. Both persons were not your hippy , outlandish types or even just silly buggers but very sensible , down to earth people which makes me think there is something in it .

So, when two fully functioning minds who not seeking anything, both see and feel it at the same time?

but i am sure my mother in law is going to come back to haunt me

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

even as a boy I would sleep under the stars in a deep dark wood, unafraid.

 

on two occasions I felt a sudden chill and desperate urge to be away from where I was, I will never ever forget those two occasions as long as I live, i saw nothing, but by heck I felt a bucket load, and nothing ever bothered me neither as man nor boy.

 

That was a very ancient fear, never felt it since, no idea what or why, unexplained.

 

I did once also see a ghostly fugure as a child, it didnt scare me, went past the back door, looked in and went away, I said nothing, least till my sister told me a story of something she saw when she was young, and described it to a tee.

 

the worrying thing was we had moved up the road before she could walk!
