Oh Maggie, that’s hilarious! Growing up, I remember seeing a ‘child’ in our house, and when I told my mum expecting her to tell me I was imagining things, instead she said “don’t tell your [younger] brother and sister”

I love this story and would love to hear the St Andrew’s one.

We have loads of poltergeists at our place (mainly us being absent-minded...) so I love this. I've come across ghosts though.

I taught English to five nurses who worked in a hospital in Sapporo on the Japanese island of Hokkaido. They all had very convincing stories of ghosts. Most of the spirits were former patients, but at least one was a doctor who would help with diagnosis and then fade away.

It is fascinating that every single culture on earth has the concept of ghosts.

I love a good ghost story and I’d especially love to hear about your St Andrew’s ghost. My late friend Jean told me about her own ghostly experience there.
