ghost childI saw a 'ghost' when I was sixteen at a college hall of residence. I came back from classes in middle of the day and walked up the stairs to my room. At the top of the stairs, there was a mirror, which relfected the top hallway. This particular day I noticed a small girl aged about 5 or 6 in the mirror standing outside my room, looking straight back at me. I turned from the mirror and, surprise, there was no one there. Very strange because it was in the middle of the day so there was little idea of suggestion through mood and I saw her as clear as day - blonde hair, chequered dress, etc - I looked at her for several seconds before realising that she was out of place and turned to check. Couldn't have been a real girl who had run off as the only way out was down the stairs i was on and the only door in the top hallway was mine.
Later found out that the halls of residence used to be a children's home, part of which burnt down in the sixties. It was in Chichester.
Still don't believe in 'ghost' ghosts, though. Prefer to think of it as a part of the universe randomly messing with our heads.

wow ive just had an amazing thoughtWell, everyone is told at school neutrons and protons go around in nuclei with electrons going around in shells surrounding them. In actual fact these electrons have a probability of being anywhere of infinity, so they could be anywhere in the universe at any one time.
What if ghosts were in fact these electrons finally catching up with the nuclei they are attracted to, however since they have a much much smaller mass than nuclei they would have greater gaps in between leaving a "see through" appearance of something that used to be there, like an after image sort of.
This is just a thought that has just this second struck me, and it's hard to explain in lay-man terms, but if your a physicist, have a think then either add comments or prove me wrong, I want to know more, but my AS level in physics only extends so far.
