It is close to Halloween.  A couple of years ago, I asked

if anyone had ever seen a ghost.  I had received many interesting responses.  I still have not seen a ghost, but that doesn't mean they are not there.  So are there any more ghost sightings that anyone would like to share?

Thanks!

I have never seen a ghost and probably never will.  👻 👻👻

I ALMOST got to see TWO ghosts....

The couple that were friends of mine who came to my home and "saged" it.

They almost became ghosts when I found out what they did.

They don't know how close they came.

@Othereeeen  How does one "sage" a house?

@deepwaterdotter 

They burn bunches of dried sage (like the fresh herb you put on turkey...when it's fresh it smells wonderful....when it's dried and ignited inside your home and waved around trying to remove who knows what....,making a smoking stinking mess, it smells like burning dung.

There's another thread by me  in Suggestion Box that explains what happens when someone burns handfuls of dead leaves around your clothes closets, upholstered furniture, carpets...

Read it and you'll understand.

Those two still don't know how lucky they were .

I did not see a ghost, but I believe my deceased mother was in contact with me.

When she passed away many years ago I received the phone call from my step-father telling me she had passed away at 6:10 p.m.  For the following two years after her death, exactly at 6:10 p.m. my phone rang, the called I.D. showed "unknown caller" and when I answered the phone no one was there.  I really believe that was my mom trying to be in touch with me.

@Othereeeen Good to know about the sage stinking (I read your post on the other thread too). Who would've thunk it?

[GingerHead]

Nope, I've never seen a ghost but I'd be open to it.....I think.

Sweet ghosts are you listening?

Only sweet ghosts...

I should have thunk it..but I was young too...

They explained what they were going to do and I really didn't think too much about it...it sounded  dreamy-stupid but they were friends and I didn't think they'd end up stinking up my place like that....

On top of that, I worried for a month afterward that I'd get drug tested...I worked a safety sensitive job with random drug testing and it took FOREVER to get that stench out of my clothes....smelled kinda like...well, you know.

It's burns "oily" too.

I think if people want to do it, go ahead. But you've been warned.

It's burning and letting it smoke up the place with a handful of dead sage sprigs...that are allowed to smoke more than burn. 

You been warned!!!

For goodness sake stay OUT of your closets. Open the windows.

Better yet.... douse the bunch of burning vegetation BEFORE it starts to smoke!!!!

Oh no, it sounds like you were put through the ringer with that.....stinking up everything and worrying about drug testing! Yikes!

Thanks for the warning!
