Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Okay, first of all, let me start off by saying, yes, I do believe in ghosts and things paranormal. However, there is obviously no rock solid evidence to my story. But I would appreciate opinions, comments and so on.

Okay, so, when I was a young child, around 3 or 4 years old, I enjoyed sitting in the corner chair, in the living room, near the corner of the wall, obviously. I used to look up to the top of the wall for ages. My father would ask me what I was looking at, I would reply, the man who looks like you. (I now think it is an appropriate time to tell you that my grand-dad died the year I was born). I vaguely remember these things happening, although my father has reminded me of it. This memory kind of creeps me out, however intrigues me.

A jump to the future – A few weeks ago I visited my friends house, it was a snowy night. My mother came to pick me up at around 6 pm. So, we were in the car on the way back when I saw a figure wandering across the road, but when our car got to where I thought I saw the man, no human was in sight. This had left my mind, until today.

There was quite a lot of cars on our road today, so my mother had to drive right to the top of the road to turn the car around, on the way back down our road, on the way to our house, I swear I saw a man in a blue jacket walk up my path, he was sauntering, head bent. No meaningfulness to his walk. We got to outside my house, again… nobody was there. It occurred to me it could’ve been my next door neighbor walking up his path and then entering his house. However, my neighbors path is raised above mine, as is there wall. Since I only saw the man’s top half of his body, the person couldn’t have been going up there path.

Other small incidents such as the television flickering to random channels occasionally, and lights popping randomly then re-lighting.

Anyway, thanks for reading my story. Again, as I said, I would appreciate your opinions and comments. Thanks.
