The Old Man on the Stairs
     
Well, I was living with my girlfriend and her 4 years old daughter. The daughter said she liked to talk to an old man who was on the stairs of the property quite a lot, so her mum and I were quite aware of something going on.
     
     
However, on one occasion when her daughter was not in the house and I had gone to bed early, I was woken by what felt like someone shaking me. I then noticed that my girlfriend was not in bed so I got up to find her asleep in the bath. I know she would probably have woken, had she gone under the water if she was a normal healthy woman. However, since then we have found out that she is diabetic and that it can be fatal if she gets tired in the bath.
     
     
The Experiences Can Happen Early in Life
     
When I was 10 I spent weekends out at my grandmother's house, way out in the middle of nowhere.
     
     
One night I couldn't sleep so I decided to get up and get some water. As I walked out of my room there was a tall black shadow of a man right in front of me. I didn't move; I just stood there not knowing what to do. Then, I heard my grandmother cough. Startled, I jumped and turned! She wasn't actually there next to me, but when I turned back the shadow man was gone. However, a cold blast of air rushed by me, blowing my hair back and raising goose bumps up my left arm.
     
     
This scared me so much! I have never told anyone 'til now!!
     
     
Who Is That Lady?
     
I was eight, my older brother was eleven, and my younger brother was six. We had just moved into a new house and because we only had one bed we had to share it.
     
     
I woke one night to see a woman standing by the wardrobe in the bedroom and she started to float towards me. I then woke my older brother and he saw her too and we started shouting for our mom. Mom came into the room, put the light on and the figure of the lady vanished. Next morning we described the lady to Mom and her partner and we found out that the figure was Mom's partner's mother; the wardrobe belonged to her. We had never seen the lady before!
     
     
A Message from Sarah
     
I was killing time before I had to pick up my daughter at horse camp. I was sitting alone at a picnic table in a hiking area. I was looking out at the pond and felt as though something wanted my attention.
     
     
I think her name was Sarah, and she wanted me to know her drowning was an accident.
     
     
It seemed very important to her for me to know it was an accident. I don't know if there ever was a drowning there or why she definitely wanted me to know this. Her name was Sarah and she was about 15 years old.
     
     
Is Seeing Really Believing?
     
I was sitting on the toilet in the Edwardian house of an old lady who was a good friend of mine (we were sixty years apart in age!)
     
     
The door to the corridor was open and I saw someone walk along it. I expected them to turn up the stairs but they didn't. When I told my friend she said, "Oh that's Mother." I didn't believe in ghosts at all at that time, although my family were said to be psychic, read tealeaves, etc. What struck me the most about this incident was the way the ghost apparently disappeared through a wall. Even now, having seen what I saw I still really don't believe in ghosts!
     
     
Get Away
     
Ghost! Angry ghost! He said we had his land (through a medium). It would happen at nights, mainly. He used to pin me, and my flatmate down and hit us during the night. There was deep breathing, touching too.
     
     
This was just before, during and for a short time after my mother's death. A medium advised me how to deal with the ghost. I think my Mother would have chased him away also, but on the other side. My friend and I still talk about it!
     
     
I have had other more pleasant experiences also! And some rather odd ones too!
     
     
A Visitation
     
I was in bed and had lots of trouble getting to sleep. Suddenly, I turned myself over and I saw a black, shadowy body shape
