DISCLAIMER: I THINK GHOSTS ARE BULLSHIT AND CAN BE EXPLAINED WITH SCIENTIFIC THEORIES AND A LITTLE COMMON SENSE
I've seen creepy stuff myself on occasion. Usually I dismiss it, but I always make a mental note of what happened and where, so I can keep a look out if anything screwy starts going on.
Most of it's in childhood, as with most people, since imagination is less suppressed back then. But I've seen a translucent horseman pace around my garden, spectral faces in curtains, and when I was really tiny, the headlights on my toy bus kept flashing on and off, and I could see tiny pupils in the centre. The problem was that the headlights had never had light bulbs in them, or mirrors. They were just matte plastic. I tapped it the following morning and nothing happened, but I never played with it again.
I also have a tendency to find symbols or messages in natural formations. Even today I saw a weeping pace in the snow, next to a pair of overlapping leaves resembling a broken heart.
Oh, and once I was sitting on the crapper, doing my buisness, and my entire perception of reality flickered. It was like when a cinema changes rolls of film, I saw a flicker of black, then a flicker of white. For a few seconds I couldn't remember where I was, who I was, or what was going on. It was a bit like The Matrix but with no green numbers. A few seconds later, normal service is resumed, and I go back to my shit in peace.
If ghosts did exist, I suspect they'd just be people. Nothing to be scared of, they're probably just trying to finish something they died halfway through. That gives the happy idea that you could have a friendly chat with your dead relatives.
I also suffer from horrendous deja vu, lucid dreams (Unparachuted basejumping. Wheee!) and that thing where you feel like you're falling.
