Hmmmmm.
I've never seen a ghost. I don't think I have, anyway.

I hate these folk who attribute anything even slightly out of the ordinary to the paranormal. It's not that I don't believe in that sort of thing, it's just, well..... I've got an open mind, but I've never seen anything myself. I like to think of myself as a reasonably rational person....... as an example, about 15 years ago, I saw an odd craft in the sky that did not behave like any aeroplane I've ever heard of. While no-one will convince me it was light from venus refracted through swamp gas, I'd like to think there was a rational explanation for what I saw, even if I can't think of one, while keeping an open mind to the possibility it was.... well..... spacemen.

But about six months ago something quite odd happened to me, and it wasn't light from uranus being refracted through whatever gas I had been emitting whilst asleep.

I awoke one night laying on my side, having been asleep for about an hour. There, next to the bed, about two feet from my face sat a woman. She was kneeling or sitting beside my bed and looked for all intents and purposes like she was praying. She was wearing a headscarf and I could see her face as plain as day. I wasn't alarmed at all, everything was quite calm and then, after about ten seconds maybe, she drifted backwards into my wardrobe and disappeared.

I rolled onto my back and, although it's weird to think it now, it was then I first thought how strange this was..... a weird, headscarf wearing lady praying next to my bed.

I've had, as I might have mentioned a bit further down the page, a load of weird things happen to me whilst asleep or semi-asleep, and I suppose this was just another one of them. It's the only one I've ever felt calm during though, and, well.... I wonder.

Let's hope
she doesn't re-appear whilst you are choking Kojak, it might put you off your stroke.
