=============================================
Thats also MY Mindset ! I want to explain it away as something else.
Everytime I hear a Ghost story... I can (usually) explain it away with
Science or 'Pissed up Logic' or something.
My Brother tells me a story about him and his Mates that saw a dark
'figure' floating across a park on their way home from the Pub one
night !
ALL of his Mates will SWEAR that they saw a ghost... Im thinking that
they were ALL PISSED and that it was a Black Refuse Bag blowing in the
wind ! You Got to be There... otherwise... it didn't happen.
Same as MY story. Unless you are there... it didn't happen ! :)
In the case of your Mother. She said that He grinned at her. The
figure that We saw was a profile side picture... it never changed from
entering one wall... to exiting through that other one. There was NO
interaction between Us and IT.
We just knew that we had to Stop damaging the house... THAT was the
message.
What made it (to Me) a Ghost was that it 'sailed' through one wall and
straight through another and was about 6 ft in the air at the time.
I remember that he 'glided'... it wasn't like he was walking along a
floor that
used to be there, BUT... he did seem to be on the same height level
that WE were... even though he was actually floating across the
landing/stairs.
So I still ask myself... why was he sailing (not walking) ? and Why
was he wearing clothes from 1800s era ? (do Ghosts have a shop) ?
