alsomy cousin's long-term boyfriend went to stay in my aunt's (again very old) house once, and he went into the other bedroom (my other cousin's old room, doesn't live there any more though, they're all moved out).
he says he saw a man hanging (as in dead) from the rafters in the room.
you've never seen him move so quickly away from something.
oh, and i saw a white lady who was distinctly seethrough walking around at my (catholic) primary school, and a nun haunted the picture of the turin shroud that we kept there.
and a psychic told my mum my grandad was sending her something like a white rose and a horse, and it was incredibly appropriate. also my sister smelt cigarette smoke and hair wax in her room at home a few months ago, and grandad stopped smoking and using that kind of hair wax about ten years before abi was born... ie, about twenty years before he died. ten years ago.
wow, i didn't realise i believed in the paranormal before.
ps also casper the friendly ghost.

I go to a catholic grammar school in sloughAbout six months ago I was walking down the main school corridor in the very very old convent building towards the new hall at about 9 at night (I was there waiting for the audience and cast to arrive for the school play which I was in also).
It was very dark and there was only a light on down the other end of the corridor, and I've never needed to know where the light switch was so I couldn't find it.
I reach the other end of the corridor, just as usual, perfectly happy, but a bit nervous about the forecoming play. Just as a reach the door I hear footsteps and turn around, where I see one of the many nuns who live in our school in the convent part walking down the corridor in the opposite direction.
I didn't think anything of it, because although I hadn't seen her before, some of the nuns didn't like to go into the main part of the school, as the kids are pretty obnoxious really. However, when I then saw her again on a picture from 1897 looking exactly as she did when I saw her 2 weeks previously.
