Wow, so sweet and cute story.

Thank you Werty…

Great story! I very much enjoyed it.
There was a ghost in the house that my mate and I shared here in town. The upstairs hall window would be open sometimes, and there was always a cold spot partway up the stairs. What's more, our cat wouldn't go upstairs.

Thank you, John. Yes... once you get used to them being there they are much easier to get along with. We had one in our last home my daughter named Fred.

Vix

Excellent stories!

Thanks so much Walt... I can only imagine you have plenty of your own.

Vix

Yeah, I'm scared of bodies of water, keep me well inland thankyou

*laughs... it's in my blood, what can I say?

Vix

You ol salt you ;)

That would be me

Vix

Wow... that was really nice. To read, I mean. Such experience can't be nice.

thank you... but remember - we are shaped by our experiences; and we all have them. I don't remember ever sleeping so peacefully.

Vix

Yeah, everyone has some experience and stories to tell. Wish they'd be happier, but I couldn't choose them. At least I'm not in such "hole" as I used to be.

well that's a good thing... we all get into that same hole every now and again.

Vix

I always look forward to the recounting of your experiences, Vixyy.

I suppose in a sense, I have always been open to existence of ghosts, shades, whatever you wish to call them. They're a mystery, but it is comforting to know that as startling as they may be, they can look out for us.

Good thing to, if your description is to go on, braving seas that rough wouldn't have ended well.

*chuckles... going to sea is like anything else Hania, after a while you get used to it and learn there are unwritten rules you have to follow...

Vix

You have such good stories V, I can't recall ever having such a clear supernatural encounter. And now you have me considering the most scared I've ever been...hhhhmmm...

And I've heard the saying, God looks after drunks, fools, and small children ;)

Have you ever heard of the Eilean Mòr mysterious disappearances? Scroll down a little on this page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flann.....les_Lighthouse

Personally I agree with the theory that two of the keepers were repairing storm damage when the third noticed a freak wave coming in, he ran down to warn them and all three were swept away. It certainly explains the known facts of the case.

now that was an interesting account... this day and age, people do not see the danger in nature, and if you have not been to see in anything other than a cruise ship, you have no idea what the ocean is capable of...

I'm truly happy you like my stories... I'm willing to bet you have more than a few yourself...

Vix

Huh coincidental, you replied just as I was responding to your other comment! And yes I'm very much a land-lubber but anyone with any sense respects the sea.

heh I have a few stories but nothing on the supernatural side of things like this!

*chuckles...

Vix

Both of those sound like they would cause quite the fright, but that second one left me with goosebumps! I do love a good ghost story, thank you for sharing.

You are more than welcome FtD - but it's not a story; it really did happen. Always remember - it's not fear you feel of the ghost, it's fear of the unknown.

Here's another small happening, and we lived together quite peacefully.

In our old house, we had a ghost my daughter named Fred... she finally got used to him and went back sleeping in her room rather than ours. He was no bother really. Every now and again I would see something out of the corner of my eye - that sort of thing.

Well... came the day Sally, my mother in law, was dying. We kept her to the end and hospice was wonderfully helpful. Her hospital type bed was in out living room. One day I was sitting next to her bed trying to visit, and she reached out an arm towards the ceiling, and said, 'Fred.' She then looked at me and asked, 'Who's Fred?' I then had to explain him to her.

When we were moving, I offered Fred the choice to come with us. I don't believe he did. At least I haven't noticed anything. As I was packing the car for the last trip, I heard a knocking on the wall coming from the direction of my daughter's room. I yelled out, 'I'll be right there.' When I got back to the bedroom, I found I'd forgotten some things in the closet. Of course I thanked him for letting me know.

Good old Fred.

Vix

Simultaneously alarming and wholesome, Fred sounds like a most interesting roommate indeed.

Ghostly comforts. Very nice! As someone who was super afraid of ghosts as a kid I really could have used a story like this once upon a time.

Also very happy that you didn't fall into the ocean and die of exposure. Don't join the realm of the lighthouse ghosts, please. We need ya here.

well thank you so very much...

Vix

Don't think I've ever read a story with an associated nautical chart before. You always manage to surprise me, Vixxy ^^

Thank you for reminding me why I'm deeply terrified of the sea. Part of me wants to ask for more stories from the lighthouse -- it's so fascinating it almost seems surreal -- and part of me knows that if you complied, I might not sleep for a while.

I don't know if "she was as dumb as I was stupid" is a quote from somewhere, but either way, it is now.

**laughs... we out one night, and she said, 'Let's go behind the school and spot deer.' For me that was a huge green light. Getting there, I parked the van and went in for a kiss... and she tried to crawl out the window vent. (they still had those back then) She was actually serious on the spotting deer thing.

Vix

LOL

If everything mysterious were explained, the world would be a dull and worthless place.

*hugs*

It sure would!

*hugssss a bunch…

Vix

Very much so.

Vix

Exactly! Those who lived it know.
