Quote by: Technosoul I don't care if anyone can scientifically test for ghosts or not. That is not at all important. The important thing is that people do encounter such things and we cannot help but wonder why. Here is my ghost story. ( a true story ) My sister was dieing of cancer, which had spread through her whole body, she saw three ghosts, one was our father who had passed away, and two other ladies in red dresses. Who were my mother's sisters, also that had passed away. My mother was still alive but had lost her memory, and she did not know us anymore by our names. I was at her bedside as she took her last breath and passed away. So my brother and I were the last of the family except for my mother who was 95 years old, at an old folks care home. At the funneal a friend of my mothers came up to me and wanted to tell me something "odd". She was visiting my mother at the very time my sister died and we told her not to mention it to our mother. When she walked in the nursing home my mother was alert and said " did you know that (my sisters name) died" Her friend was surprised that she knew that because it was a secret. Her friend asked her "are you ready to let go yet so you can be with her". she said "No, I am waiting for (my name)". She had not used my name for about a year, due to her lost memory. I was surprised. Did my sister's spirit pay her a last visit? What was she waiting for me to do? The next day I paid her a visit. She once more did not know my name. She looked out the window to look at a crow sitting on an electric wire, pecking at something. "Look at the bird, he better be careful or we will have to call him home". "you will call him home?" I continued the conversation" Mother said as she nodded off to sleep again. "yes, to the Other". A few months later she passed away. The ghostly message was clear. My sister always used to say "take care of your self" when we parted company.

its called coincidence and you looking for comforting instances that give you peace of mind.

This is no different then the gambler putting a troll next to them on the table thinking it is going to help them win to give them good luck. Although, there is a chance for them to win...it is not because its the troll. People fail to see the coincidence of the troll and the random lucky win being there.
