The last house I used to live in had one of those garages that were separate from the house. The back door of the garage didn't lock, but it was one of those neighborhoods where it wasn't a concern. Nor could anyone tell as it could be closed just fine. However, during one summer, we discovered the door open and no remembers leaving it open. In fact, we hardly used it because we usually opened the garage door itself. Anyway, we were worried that animals could get in, so the door shouldn't have been left open. It seemed impossible that an animal could open it as it had a round knob that was difficult enough for any of us to turn let alone an opposable-thumb-lacking critter. So we closed it and forgot about it. Yet, about once every week that summer, we found the door open with no explaination. Neighbors said that this house used to belong to a mechanic who fixed up old cars in the garage. Everynight, he'd go through that door to make a few adjustments and tinker around. Often so engrossed in his work, he'd leave the door open behind. The neighbors said that he died several years ago in an automobile accident. So for sometime we thought it was his ghost opening the door. Then we discovered it was only bigfoot.

I've not had a definate personal experience of them, but here is a freaky story for you all.
We need to go back about 18 years to my parents house in south west england.
This is what happend and made me view these things with a more open mind.
The youngest of my brothers and sisters kept leaving their bedroom to stay in my parents rooms because they were scared and having bad dreams. This went on for a couple of weeks, some nights worse than others.
Anyway we eventualy got information out of the young uns, they apparently were both getting woken up with a bad dream that involved a fire in the bedroom, and in a few instances when they were most afraid, when they awoke they could see the fire in the corner of their room.
Anyway my mother did a little research in the local libary on our house and came up with some newspaper cuting from around the time of WWII.
A german bombing run had hit Plymouth and on its way back had some spare bombs so dropped them on the village. Our house had been hit and damaged - that particualr bedroom on the front corner of the house being most damaged.
Spooky.
Still the dreams+visions stopped after a while and that was the end of that. We keep those old paper cuttings in a frame to tell visitors the tale when they ask about them
 a true story too.
And i know a school mate who had a situation a little like Adagio's story. So even though i've not seen one first hand - i think there must be something to all these types of events. Ghosts seems to sum it up nicely?

I wonder if there is a correlation between people who believe in Ghost and people who believe in God.
I'm not insinuating anything on this one, it would be an interesting relationship if there was one.
As for me I have no stories but my mother is a strong believer in Ghosts and everything spiritual, iirc shes mentioned seeing some once or twice, and my dad used to tell some pretty cool Ghost stories back in the days.

Another one:
This is a bit tricky because i dont know if its actualy a ghost story as such as i didnt think it was a ghost thing at the time. Also it happend along time ago when i was a wee wiper-snapper of 10 years old 
The setting Wales, rural. My brother and I are taking the dog our for her walk.
We lived in the middle of no-where, in a small hamlet with about 3 other houses; and then loads of fields/forests etc all around.
Anyway up the back of our house is a field that belonged to a rather grumpy farmer, he'd threatend to shoot my dog sometime earlier, so i decided to go have a look at what i could break on his land. I knew it was risky taking the dog - but i reckoned he wouldn't shoot her while me and my young brother were around.
So at the top of this field is a small wood - its got a fence around it and a gate with a small track running down the middle of it.
So we both go in, and once inside i let my dog of her leash, so she can have a run around.
The copse is pretty overgrown, the track hasn't been used in a long time as the various plants have started to grow over it. And everywhere among the standing trees are fallen trees, with their roots sticking up in the air.
For some odd reason many of them have long stands of moss/vines hanging down from the roots - they look a bit spooky, and there is a slight ground mist.
So anyway the atmosphere of the place is getting to both my brother(he was only 6 at the time, bless him ) and myself. So i accept that we were both in a heightend state of emotions
So we are imagining witches, monsters lurking in the mists etc.
Then my dog starts yelping - not a yelp i'd heard her make before and that freaks me out. So we both start shouting for her to come to heel.
Eventualy she zips out of the mist going full tilt, and zooms right by us, still making this weird yelping sound. She didnt even slow down when she saw us waving at her to stop.
So we're even more freaked out now. She dissapears then comes around in a loop and here is the freaky bit.
the sides of this wood, where the fences are, slopes upwards from the path. So past the fence you see the sky as this wood was on the top of the hill surrounded by the field.
Both of us see this quite clearly. My dog is still running after something like crazy, in full flight(and she was quick - could catch rabbits etc), still making this odd sound.
The bit that finished us off, and made us run home without my dog; was that in front of my dog was a black 'blob'. About the size of a hedgehog. It was completely dark in colour and didn't appear to have moving parts - it was hovering about 2 inches above the ground and moving at a hell of a pace!
I dont know what it was, i'm pretty much a nature boy and i've never seen any animal move like that, even today i just can't quite fit it in a rationale context. Animals just dont hover above the ground, move around or look like that blob.
My dog came back home a little while later, so i was happy as i'd been feeling pretty guilty about leaving her.
I've always thought maybe it was a 'ufo' thing? but maybe it was a ghost - like a ghost of a large black hedgehog or something
this is another true story  but the last reguarding ghost type stuff that has happend that i have witnesed.
But on the subject of faith and believing in ghosts, then maybe there is a corrolation. I have a faith, and even though generaly sceptical of ghost/alien stories, i try to keep an open mind, mainly due to the few weird things i've seen i guess?

child of Thor, it's interesting too that your account, like mine, had no real point, no startleing ending, no rattleing of chains. These things seem to have no point! A dog disturbs and pisses off a black blob minding its own business and gets chased off. Something that will stick with you all your life, but only because you can't explain it. The consequence of the story isn't there, because there is none. It's just stuff that happens...
For me, a guy in a coat in my living room, never see him again, seems to be no lasting effects on me, what was he up to? The point! the point! Just trying to scare me? Well, that worked. Also, two little people on my dresser throwing sparkles at me. Too bizzarre to be true, right? Yet I remember it like it was yesterday. No lasting effects...though I blame my bad speling on these guys.
Do you ever discuss this event with your brother? What does he say about it?
