Memoirs: Experiences with ghosts

by Janet Richards

Created on: May 13, 2007   Last Updated: May 16, 2007

This subject fascinates me totally. When you tell someone of your experiences, you either get the eager listener, who wants to hear about them, or the ones that laugh it off! Thats why I am a person, who thinks that you should experience something, before given comment. I love to take photographs, and have many in my collection of "ghosts, spirits and Orbs". A very good and elderly friend of mine, had lost her husband a few years back, and asked me round to take some pictures in her house, to see if I could get any orbs. When I arrived, she made me coffee, while I snapped away... I take my pictures in the pitch dark, and as I take the photo, I can normally tell if I have caught any orbs. On this occasion, I knew I had, as I could see the lights. When I had finished, I sat down and drank my coffee, and we had a chat and a laugh about just every day things. She asked me if I thought I had captured any orbs on the photos, and I told her that yes, I thought I had. I finished my coffee, and stood up, with my friend in front of me. I said that I had better get going as it was getting late, and I wanted to check the pictures. As I said this, I felt a hand at the back of my head, I was then given a playful, gentle push, just hard enough for me to lose my balance, and I fell into my friend. "Oh My God"! was my reaction, as I put my hand up to my head, "whats the matter" my friend asked, so I explained what just happened. She laughed and said, "Oh thats my hubby, you see, you was sitting in his chair, and when anyone did that, he would give then a gently push on the back of their head, as if you say thats my seat... OUT!" She has since told me that when she is in bed, that most nights, her hubby will come, and sit on the edge of the bed. She said you can feel the bed go down, as if it was being sat on. She went on to say that my going round to see her, and that happening to me, gave her so much happiness, and comfort, knowing her dearest loved one, was still there with her, and letting her know he is still around in his own special way.
