You mentioned the smell of woodsmoke when there wasn't any.

I once 'smelt' a ghost - I smelt roses when there were no flowers in the room and it wasn't any cosmetic perfume- I didn't know it was a ghost at the time I smelt it. The experience lasted just a few minutes.

It was such a lovely calming experience that I mentioned it the day after and was told 'That's our ghost'.

The location was a guest house (former old court house) at St Johns IOMan, directly opposite the Tynwald mound.

It was owned by my first husband's aunt and we were having a short holiday there. Their daughter was a doctor at a Belfast hospital, so she wasn't the sort to concoct fanciful tales. She explained that it was the old lady who had lived there in the past and loved the place.
