With Halloween exactly a week away I thought it would be cool to share any ghostly experiences.

I've only ever had one and that was years ago. I saw my father, who has been dead for many years, standing at my door smiling. I looked away and he was gone. Maybe it my mind playing tricks on me I don't know but it was strange nevertheless.

My uncle once lived in the most haunted house in Britain and he's told me many spooky tales about living there. For instance, every night he would hear footsteps coming up to his bedroom door and when he opened it, no matter how quickly, there would be no one there. He also said it was unnaturally cold, especially in one room where his housemate slept. His friend had the worst nightmares while living there and eventually had to leave because he felt he was going mad. At the time they didn't know the house was supposedly haunted.

Another uncle of mine stayed at a guest house in Ireland and in the middle of the night was awoken as he felt someone sitting down at the end of his bed. When he looked there was no one there. In the morning he told the woman who owned the house and she told him that the room was haunted and most people who slept there experienced exactly the same thing.

I have loads more actually, including my dad seeing a ghostly figure at the old (and very creepy) mental instituation in Ireland, where he was working as a painter and decorator many years ago, which is kinda freaky.

But anyway, your turn...
