Anyone ever seen a ghost?

I've often wondered if I could spend the night in a graveyard without losing self-control. I suspect not; I've started to imagine things merely walking through a graveyard at dusk. Stupid really, I know.

I have done an overnight vigil in a church over the coffin of an old friend. So I know I won't crack.

But a bit of advice from RadMac (2010: International Year of Radcliffe and Maconie http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/th...-maconie-show/) went something like this:

"If you think you don't believe in ghosts then put a chair in the doorway of a room at night facing into the room. Turn all the lights off in the house except those in the room. Sit on the chair facing the lit room with the dark house behind you in complete silence for one hour. At some point during that hour, you will realise you DO believe in ghosts."

I got really really pished one night. took the shortcut home through the churchyard, and drunk as i was , fell in to a freshly dug grave.

Tried for an hour to get out - no chance
Tried to phone for help - no signal
Shouted and screamed - nothing.

So I curled up in the bottom of the pit and tried to get some sleep. Ten minutes later another drunk came staggereing along and fell in, right on top of me.
After watching him trying to scramble out for ten minutes, I took pity on him, stood up, tapped him on the shoulder and said 'YOU'LL NEVER GET OUT OF HERE'

but he did.

Has anyone ever felt the hairs on the back of their heads stand on end?

not for about 15 years

Maybe there are ghosts everywhere, but only a tiny fraction of the population are able to see/sense them?

You are probably right. I should not be surprised if the number of such people is approaching statistical significance.

Anyone know anything about "dimensional overlap"?

You wanted ghost photos but didn't stumble across these people?

No, but when I was a teen my mother told me how she heard her own mother`s voice when she died, calling out to her. Some years later I was 200 miles away and heard someone call my name at the same time my gran deid - I didn`t know until the next morning officially that she had passed away at approx the same time I heard the voice.

Not at all religious but the last few years I`ve have had a number of experiences that have made me think someone is trying to tell me something.

Don`t think I believe in ghosts but our minds and brains are not fully understood today. IN the case of my gran, I knew she was ill and unlikely to recover, did my mind just kind of calculate when she would die based on the input it received and due to the known loss, create some kind of connection with the death? Thinking granny Z communicated my name to me when I was 200 miles away is easier to handle than knowing she had just died and I`d never see/hear again and I wasn`t there.

And have the experiences over the last year actually just been coincdences but my mind is seeing otherwise because deep inside I want a change in my life?
As a kid I used to get deja vu a lot

Maybe ghosts couldn't be picked up by film but can by the CCDs in digital cameras so that's why there are 'photos now but not before 2005.
