Cool topic SS. My ghostly experiences involve only the ghosts of animals.

While growing up sharing a room with my brother, my father decided to convert the garage into another bedroom, which would be mine. Cool space, sliding glass doors, etc. After about a year, I got into the habit of closing the door shut to keep my sister's cat, Peanut out. I just didn't want it climbing into bed with me.

On night I woke as I felt Peanut jump onto the bed, circle a few times, and settle in. I figured I must have forgot to close the door, and proceeded to pet him. Except he wasn't there.

I sat up and flicked on the light. No cat. And the door was shut.

This happened about a dozen times. I figure a cat must have been run over in the garage before we moved in. A neighbor confirmed that the previous owner kept cats.

So I got used to it, and when I felt the cat jump on the bed, circle itself to lay beside me, I let it sleep in peace.

Kind of freeky looking back, but at the time, I was fine with it.
