That was my experience exactly. Hank always walked thru that way if both sliding and roll up doors were open.
I had ‘O’s’ way why to imagine something I wasn’t thinking about, just looked up from the equipment I was working on in my maintenance shop.

Yes i do question and always am looking for a logical explanation. There is no doubt in my mind and experience there is such things as visitations from spirit people or some call them ghosts . But i dont get involved in silly squealing most haunted stuff . The post i added earlier about a friend staying in the guest house and a little spirit boy in his room is interesting and true and i have many true happenings told to me by logical sceptic people . Its fascinating .
Susie , that is a wonderful picture. The spirit person would have known you were comfortable with her presence.

Does anybody think that ghosts only appear when there is a person there.?..If so, it could be something to do with that person, or just a random person/persons.
With all the cameras spread around in everyday life, have any ghosts appeared in remote places when there are no people present?

Few years ago before arthritis hit my right hip which I hope a way to " completely " treat as go to Doctor again next week I would walk " secret " canals and marshes plus golf course ponds and lots of exotic fish which made my day .
There was a marsh with African Jewelfish and the red color was simply stunning but since so aggressive and would kill my other fish I never tried to catch a pair and now regret it , wish I had set up another tank or another rubbermaid stock tank in yard as that marsh became a gated community .

Do you worry that a bad spirit will attach itself to you ? .
I base this on A Haunting in Connecticut as turns out the spirit was attached to the girl , perhaps it was A Haunting in Georgia but either way .

No, not had any problems yet.
It was funny on Saturday I was standing at the bus stop which is very near to a grave yard when all of a sudden I had Rooks surrounding me, never had that happen to me before.

On my morning runs out into the country, I used to pass a 13th century church surrounded by trees and a graveyard.
It seemed strange that every time I ran past, the rooks nesting in the trees would follow me for a short distance, and then fly off. It happened every time…

That wasn’t in a pub, Foxy.
It was in the cellar of the old York Treasurer’s House, which is now a National Trust property.
I have been down in those cellars. I didn’t see anything spooky down there but Harry Martindale’s account of what he saw in 1953 is quite convincing. Some of what he described about what the Roman soldiers he saw were wearing was discounted at the time as not likely to be worn by Roman soldiers but years later it was discovered that what Harry described was similar to what Auxiliary troops attached to the Roman Army in the 4th Century were wearing. Only nobody knew that back in the 1950s.
Harry Martindale’s 1953 account of ghostly Roman soldiers were wearing green tunics and sandals with knee-high straps and round shields. Many years later it was discovered this was indeed accurate for local British auxiliaries, as later archaeological evidence confirmed these details were correct for the 4th century
By that time, the main Roman army had withdrawn, and local forces were equipped differently, using green dyes from local sources and smaller, round shields instead of the rectangular ones typically associated with Roman legions.
Harry described the soldiers wearing sandals with straps that went up to their knees, which was the style for 4th-century troops, a fact that was not widely known in 1953.
He saw the soldiers carrying round shields, which matched the findings of later excavations of auxiliary Roman soldiers at Hadrian’s Wall.
The soldiers Harry Martindale saw are now believed to have been local, older men who had settled in Britain, married local women, and served in the defensive force after the Roman army had largely withdrawn.
Harry’s description of them looking weary and unkempt also aligned with the profile of local soldiers on patrol.

Thanks Boot, very interesting and surprising.

I would imagine that it’s the sum of all the parts that give a body it’s consciousness, and should just one of the major parts fail it’s only a matter of time before consciousness leaves the body.
I would also imagine, that the brain can maintain consciousness for quite some time say, if the heart fails, and reviving the person some minutes later, the brain will still have been accepting an input from some of the other senses while the rest of the body was physically dead.
Like a candle flame gradually flickering out and being relighted from a breath of wind…
I don’t believe consciousness will persist beyond a short period after death.

Here’s a bit of an eerie one. Many years ago I was working in an old building in Neal Street Covent Garden, just a stones throw from the underground station. Something happened, not to me but to somebody else who was working after office hours. The penny didn’t drop at the time but when it did some years later it sent a shiver down my spine. I’ll write the story up during the weekend, turning in now!
