Ghosts

Have you ever seen a Ghost?

I would like to know your experiences of seeing Spirits.

I have had many spirit experience. My first time I saw one and actually realising it was when I was 16. I was on my way to see Paul Young in concert at the Royal Court Theatre in Liverpool. My friend Nikki's stepfather had died the week before and we were unsure whether she would turn up or not. The plan was to meet up with Nikki and our other friend, David outside the theatre at 6.30pm. I arrived in the city centre early at 5.30 and started walking through town.

I started walking up Roe Street Giratory, it is now called Queens Square. It was a car park back in 1983. It was extraordinarily quiet for that time of day and there was no one around and only a few cars in the car park. As I walked up towards the theatre I saw a man walking towards me. When he reached me he smiled in acknowledgement and I smiled back. As he stepped past me I realised that it was my friends stepfather and spun around, there was no one there and no way he could have got into a car or anything because the nearest car was about a minutes walk away. I looked around but it was totally deserted.

I realised I had seen his ghost. I walked in amazement to the theatre and 20 minutes later David arrived. I told him what had happened and we agreed not to tell Nikki just yet. I eventually told her and her mum 15 years later.

Let me know of your ghostly encounters for a new feature on here called Ghost Stories.
