Ghosts.
- Do you believe in them?
- Have you ever seen one?
- No (or maybe yes)
- Yes (or maybe no)
Last November I went to put something away in the garden shed about 12.30 AM.
One side of the garden is bounded by a 6' fence with parkland on the other side. As I got near the bottom of the garden I just got that feeling when you 'sense' that somebody is looking at you. When I turned towards the fence I saw the head and shoulders of a young girl (about 5 or 6 yrs old) just staring at me. As you can imagine I nearly crapped myself. She then started to move along parallel to the fence, turning her head as she moved and never taking her gaze off me. She then smiled, waved and 'disappeared'
Logic tells me that it must have been a young girl sat on her dads shoulders walking past, but having got over the initial shock I went out to look. There was no sign of anybody about and no way that they would have been able to get out of sight in the 10 or 15 seconds it took me to get out.
As I said, the ONLY logical explanation that I can think of is that it was a girl on somebody's shoulders. The way she moved however is against this as she sort of 'glided' (not even a slight up and down movement that you would expect from walking) There was also no sound of footsteps.
I KNOW that I saw her quite clearly, but I can't explain it.
BTW
@GrandOldTeam I stayed on the 5th floor at the Adelphi last month. I didn't see anything strange, but thank God I hadn't heard about your experiences before I went.
