My 12 year old daughter and I were playing "hangman" a few nights ago in my bedroom when we heard the door to my room open. When we looked up to see who had come in, we were both surprised to see the door hadn't really opened and a slightly invisible man with dark hair had walked on in right THROUGH the door! He looked neither to the right nor left and just disappeared about halfway into my room. My daughter and I just sort of looked at each other and commented on it, shrugged our shoulders, and went on with our game. Now, I have to say here that I have seen lots of ghosts in my life. This was old hat to me. My daughter, however, had not. She was happy to have seen her first one with someone else so that she did not think she was going crazy by herself... The next day she saw the same ghost walking down the hallway at her school! She turned to a classmate to see if they saw the man, but it was obvious to her that they didn't. Not wanting to appear "touched", my daughter kept her observations to herself. She later saw the ghost by the bus-stop. This ghost never seemed to notice my daughter, or anyone else for that matter. He was in his own little world. As with all ghosts, I told her that if she ever saw him or anyone else again, to tell him to go to the light. Eventually, there's ALWAYS a light. I feel sorry for these stuck souls and wonder why so few of us can see them...
