My mom's seen a lot of ghosts. And my biological father has supposedly witnessed many UFOs. Of course, they're alone more often than not during said sightings, conveniently enough.
She saw my great (step)grandfather sitting in a diner shortly after is death. It's the way he smiled at her, she says, that makes her certain it was really him and not just someone who simply resembled her grandfather. They didn't speak, and the 'ghost' left when she was distracted by the waitress.
I myself have never seen a ghost or UFO, nor do I believe I ever will. Regardless of whether or not they exist, I just seem to have plain bad luck on that front. Seriously, I could be in the most haunted house in the world and nothing would happen until AFTER I left the house. I'm always just missing this crap by a few minutes or so. Ghost must not like me. Well, screw 'em, I say. Lousy transparent SOBs. Too lazy to go into that bright light, the great beyond. Clearly they failed at life while they were alive. Why else would they cling so to this mortal realm?
Hey, does anyone remember that show Scariest Places on Earth? It was on Fox Family and hosted by Linda Blair. It was a reality show were they'd take a family, set them up with cameras, heat sensors; BS like that. And then they'd be separated, in the dark, in a haunted castle. Screaming ensued. That show ruled.
