Has Any1 Seen a Reall Live Ghost?
I am a believer in something. I did not "see" a ghost or spirit, but what I experienced will forever be with me. It happened one evening a few days after my landlords wife passed away. She always wanted to live in the house we rent, it was built for her sister. One evening around 11 pm I was sitting on the couch watching tv when the room started getting colder. Not seeing your breath cold, but this was another warm summer night. I tucked my feet under myself for some warmth, when all the sudden the wicker rocking chair started rocking as if someone was sitting in it. My first instinct told me it was the cat as she liked to paw at the furniture and has done many times. Then I realized the cat was on the couch beside me staring at the rocking, rocking chair. The chair rocked for about 30 seconds to a minute and then quit. I was scared stiff, I could not move, speak, or look away. Gives me the heebie-jeebies everytime I think about it. That is the only thing that I have ever personally experienced, although I do get the feeling I am being watched from time to time.
