Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

I have seen a figure in my house and experience other things which I believe could be related to him. I have seen the figure clear as day light.

My cottage dates back to the 16C. I believe the man to be the owner of the old windmill up the road where all the grain would be stored in the barn part of my house. The man would stand at the entrance from the extension connecting to the barn part. He is approximately 6 feet white wears a long black draped coat with the collar up and an old fashioned hat. He looks straight at me between the collar and the hat. He would then stare until I looked away and looked again which he would be gone. I have seen him around 5 times.

When I moved into the cottage my bedroom is in the 16C cottage itself which is joined to the barn via the extension. As I was in my bedroom the door on my latch lifted and the door opened then a shadow went past.

Other things like the kettle has switched on by its self and the sound of opening and shutting kitchen cupboards. I have heard footsteps in the attic in the extension while sitting in the lounge.

The latest experience was when I walked out of my front door and there in front of me at the door into the barn part was a black figure of I’d say no more than a 16 year old. I jumped, the figure looked at me and ran straight towards the extension part of the cottage and disappeared. I believe this figure to be the ghost of a thief. How can I find out who these ghosts really are?

I have experience and have seen other ghosts in places including in the public eye.
