Was that a ghost?

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

I don't know about ghosts as such. I know I once felt a "presence" so to speak.

 

I was spotting deer in the highlands (near Achnahaird ) and a thick mist came down from nowhere really, I was well and truly buggered for where I was pretty soon, so I did what seemed sensible and sat under a big rock, waiting for the sea winds to blow it off. I got pretty restless about an hour or so later and decided that it wouldn't be far to a beck that led to the sea. I wandered around for another hour, maybe two, and didn't find one. So I found the highest point I could and tried to get above the fog (it occasionally works). While going up this incline, I felt an urge to break to the left - down the hill. I don't know what it was, or why I decided to follow it, but I did, a while later I found the sea at Reiff.

 

I asked one of the local fisherman about it. He said it would be a Selkie, and that they helped a few people. I tend to believe him, I don't know what else it would be.

Intresting thread i have heard loads of storys and like to tell a few there are numerous tales from my fathers family to many to bore sensilble men like you guys but there is a story of my own and i have treid to be subjective about it thinking both sides of the story but i think there is something to it here goes as some of you might know i am a team leader work exclusivley on a highways contract including emerency callouts one night me and a one of there other team leaders get a shout we trot off to site find a ash with a snapped out top decide to fell the tree we talk the scenario though i fell tree my mate drives down the road parks to block lane from around blind bend so im stood there waiting for him to walk round corner im looking up the other way checking there no vehicles is very late/ early as im looking theres a whisp like the kind of thing up see rising from a man hole cover in the street but this appered to drift across the lane right to left could have been wind drift sort of thing but for the fact that it seemed to stride ???? havent ever mentioned this to any one.

We often see memorials for crash victims even attended rta's in the past so we are aweare that people often die on our roads this could have affected my perception ??

As mentioned before how much of our complex brain do actualy use so what the rest doing ??
