Ever seen (or heard) a Ghost?

[chiliD]

I haven't SEEN a ghost, but I've felt the presence of a couple of them.

1) The house we rent was owned by a lady who died of cancer IN THE HOUSE (quite a few years ago). Sometimes, when I'm at the computer late at night, I hear footsteps down the hall (scuffing on the carpet runner). I go see if it is my wife Susan getting up to go into the kitchen. When I get to the hallway, there's no one there, no one in the kitchen, and I check in the bedroom and my wife is sound asleep. The first 10 times, it would kind of weird me out, but after three years in the house, I'm used to it. Plus, when I go out in the hall, I'll feel cold spots. Plus, there was a span of about a week or so when items such as cereal boxes, shampoo bottles, etc would be in places where they shouldn't be...like cereal box in the freezer, or shampoo bottle in a KITCHEN cupboard. Just eerie **** like that.

2) After Rudy (the Rotweiller in my avatar) passed away, both my wife & I could feel his presence...even after we moved. I'd be sitting on the sofa with my arm hanging off the side and I'd feel him brush past my hand (like he used to do). And, again late at night while at the computer, I'd hear the jingle of his chain collar and the scuffing of his toenails on the carpet (he had a distinct sound when he'd walk). Since Daisy (my mother-in-law's Beagle) has come to live with us (just the dog, not the mother-in-law, too), I haven't felt Rudy's presence as much, but every once in a while, I'll still feel him brush past my hand...when I look down, nothing there, thinking it might've been Daisy instead, but then Daisy will walk into the room from a different direction.
