I don't know unequivocally if I have "seen" a ghost, as defined by an ethereal form. Have I seen things I could not understand? Yes. I've definitely heard and sensed things that I could not explain. I remember one time just after I graduated high school back in 1986 and was alone in my house, I heard music coming softly out of one of my stereo speakers in my bedroom. I checked the power switch and even unplugged the stereo, but the sound was still emanating from it. That was California. There was another time back when my folks were still married and living in the Army officer's housing in Fort Bliss, El Paso, Texas. It was early one morning (about 6ish) and my two younger brothers and I were hanging out in my parents' room talking. Suddenly, the door to the bedroom opened and a dark hooded figure stuck its head and body in the room to look inside. It looked directly at all of us, which freaked me and my brothers out, and quickly shut the door behind it. My dad got up immediately with my brothers and me trailing behind to check out the house. All the doors were closed and locked, windows shut, and nobody was inside the house. When I think about it now, I picture a hooded gas mask that the Army wore during the early 1970's as the dark hood, but I only recall seeing the head and part of the torso so I don't remember what all else the figure was wearing. There were other strange things that happened in the house over the course of the couple years we lived there. The other thing that stuck with me throughout my childhood as a trauma and was the reason I slept on my belly for many years was one time when I was maybe three years old and sleeping soundly in my toddler bed, I was abruptly awoken by someone tickling my belly and sides rather mercilessly for a couple of minutes. In the moment, I didn't think much of it, but I asked both my mother and father the next morning if they tickled me during the night and they both said no. It was one of those things that made me feel insecure at night, which is why I slept on my belly with arms at my sides so I couldn't be tickled again. JOIN XOMBA IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD!
