Have you ever encountered a ghost?
This seems a timely topic as Halloween approaches.
We had a ghost in an old home we rented as an office.
We would hear footsteps upstairs or on the stairs.
On investigation, we could see no one.
We could see a phone upstairs light up on our console.
But no one was upstairs to be making calls.
Shadows have passed in slivers of light under closed doors.
A face materialized in a glass pane, then was gone.
What explains these strange occurrences? Who knows?
We didn’t call Ghost Busters. We liked having our own ghost.
We once lived in a tiny Cape Cod beside a little park.
David Cohen had died in that house and he never left it.
He would walk upstairs at night to check on our children.
He warned us when he felt danger might be near.
One night he comforted my wife while I was at work.
A group of roughnecks started fighting in the park.
My wife turned out the lights and watched through a window.
She started to call the police when she felt a strange presence.
It was as if David was standing by her with his arm around her.
It was as if David willed the roughnecks to leave and they did.
