I am convinced I saw the 'ghost' of a fisherman once, when I was about 18. A young guy, blonde, in a yellow fisherman's jersey stood on the riverbank outside my then boyfriend's house. One minute there, clear as day, the next minute - gone. Funnily enough, I didn't feel spooked.
However I did feel spooked on my first honeymoon, with the same boyfriend. We were in Guernsey in an attic room in a guest house. I never saw anything, but 'felt' something, and it was not a reassuring presence, it was mavelolent and disconcerting. It happened 2 nights running & I became too scared to sleep. I couldn't explain the feeling, it was just of an unhappy presence, making my whole being fearful & hair stood on end.
I mentioned it to the landlady (my new husban's aunt) who explained that in WW2 the guesthouse was actually a hiding place for soldiers & others hiding from the Nazi Germans who had invaded the island. She said it was not the first time someone had reported feeling afraid at night in that room and asked to be moved.
Spooky.-
