Do you believe in ghosts?
We used to tell ghost stories at night around the campfire but I never thought these stories could be real till i had an unsettling experience!
I was a mrmber if a public affairs unit when I was in the US Navy Reserve. We were invited to the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterrey California in the United States to help with an open house. On the campus is the Delmonte Hotel, a hotel over 100 years old with an extensive history of hauntings and ghostly activities.
I was just a yeoman (administrative person) with no journalistic experience so they let me handle the children at the Open House. It was my job to tell them the ghost stories!! I diligently worked at digging up the ghost stories to scare these poor little children!
There was the story of the bride and groom who were killed in an earthquake at the hotel on their wedding night. They roamed the hotel in their wedding regala at night. There was the story of a server who was holding stemmed glassware in both hands and making fun of ghosts in the dining room- the lights went out and when they came back on the globes if the crystal glasses were missing, only the stems were in his hands!! I did an excellent job of scaring the children all day long!
That night I had a hotel room all to myself. I took a shower and went to bed. In the middle of the night the mattress of my bed flattened, someone was getting into bed with me! I screamed and ran across the room and turned on the lights expecting to find a prankster in my room. But there was no one in my room but me! The ghosts were giving me a dose of my own medicine!!
So yes, I believe in ghosts!!
