I have never seen a ghost and I doubt I ever will.
But just like others I have heard countless stories from people who have no reason to lie about ghost "encounters" they have experienced.
I think it is easy to find ways to dismiss the sounds of children running, or creaks or your brain tricking you into seeing something that isn't there.
The stories that I have a hard time dismissing are the cupboards slamming or faucets being turned on in the middle of the night, hair dryers being turned on etc etc.
One particular story that kinda gave me the heebie geebies, was a friend of my parents who doesn't exaggerate, doesn't have any motive to persuade people to believe in ghosts or anything. This person had just moved into a "new" house and they were starting to experience the strange noises at night, a bathroom faucet being turned on in the middle of the night, windows and doors being opened etc. They tried to dismiss it as weird coincidences until one particular night the wife was using scissors to cut something for one of her procrastinating, lazy kid's school project. Apparently before bed she put the scissors on her bedside table and turned off the light and went to sleep like anybody would. The next morning, she woke up and found the scissors on the window sill across the room standing balanced perfectly on the tip.
Of course just a breath knocked them over. Apparently she tried for quite awhile to balance them the same way herself, but couldn't.
Now I don't believe in that crap, but to see this woman matter of factly tell this Story, that I really believe to be 100 percent true made me at least think about it.
