Ghostly Encounters

Have you ever encountered the supernatural? valis2 posed this question in her journal. Here is my reply:

Six months to the day after my mother died, I dreamed that she walked into the room, sat on the end of my bed by my feet, and asked how I was doing. She wore the clothes she had been buried in, but otherwise she looked alive. We talked about school and doing the laundry, and then she left. I don't know if it was an actual visitation or whether my longing for her had shaped the dream. That was my sole encounter with the unknown.
Many years ago, Lord Branwyn and a teacher friend went walking in the old Nobottom Road Cemetery to look at the headstones. To this day, he swears that they heard the graves talk. He has no idea what they were saying because he was running for the car, hoping that Mari was still behind him. I don't believe in the supernatural, but this has given me pause because I know he is not a liar and there was another reliable witness.

Do you have any stories about ghosts or things that go bump in the night?
