I've seen and heard things that cannot always be readily explained..

One sticks in my mind in particular..

Back in the 80s, my Aunt owned a rather delapidated plantation in Barbados. The house was over 200 years old and multiple ghosts had been sighted there. The lower floor consisted of a large kitchen, a dining room and a living room. These last two rooms were joined both via the stairway/lower landing inside the house, and a large corridor that had been build around the house. A sort of enclosed verandah.

One night, I was asleep on the sofa in the living room. I was woken up by the sound of the footsteps of a large man walking out of the living room. I looked, and could see nothing. The sound continued into the aforementioned verandah, into the dining room and up the stairs. I actually was petrified. When I tried to move, my body would not respond.

When I told my aunt what had happened the next morning, she dismissed it as a prank, or me dreaming. Some years later, when she had moved back to this country, she actually told me I was not the first to hear that, and was not the last either.
