I've thought about replying to this thread several times, I've had quite a few experiences and certainly believe in the other side, I dont really know where to start.

My first sighting I was around 8 and it was my Grandad sat in his rocking chair in the corner of my bedroom, I could describe everything at the time, though my parents thought I was making it up, my Grandad died when I was 2 and I have no living memory of him.

As a teenager we went to Chaighley Manor, for 2 weeks during the summer, it was a cheap holiday for single parent families (just the kids went) anyway the first time we went I saw nothing, the second time I (and all the other kids, in 4 seperate dormitories) saw a lady dressed early 1900's and a young boy, we all reported it seperate and described exactly the same thing.

On holiday in Cyprus in 1997 (years after previous events) woke in the night only to see a workman stood by the dressing table, he had shoulder length hair, dressed in typical workclothes, vest top etc, thought I was still asleep so nipped myself several times to make sure I wasn't asleep, felt quite scared,woke my other half but then nothing was there.

2001 went to stay at my Aunts in Leicester, woke around 4am for the loo, in the corner of the room facing the book shelf was the figure of a young man, not really sure what sex, it had a bit of a mullet, I know this probably sounds really daft but it had 70's dress sense, I didn't get up for the toilet, though I nipped myself several times and squeezed my eyes together and blinked, it was still there.
Its very strange when this happens and when I least expect it, I often sense things in the cellar at work and have been talking to someone and when I turn round nobody's there.

At home now, we have lived here for 4 years and it was a new build, nearly every night at around the same time I can smell cigarettes, we dont smoke and have never let anyone smoke in the house, we are also detached, there may be a real simple answer, then who knows.

I'd just like to say that everything I've written here is true, there maybe simple explanations, I dont know.
