One gentleman I talked to is Greg, a Father of three, a Christian, and just a down to Earth type of guy. His ghostly visions began when he met his friend Dan, some thirty years ago. He says "I can't explain it" and I don't even want to try".

The first time he encountered a ghostly image, was after a party he and Dan had attended. A few days later Greg and Dan were enjoying looking at the pictures of the party when they noticed smoke around Dan. Greg thought it was a defect with the camera. The next day, more friend's came by with pictures and again, more smoke around Dan. As years passed, every picture that was taken of Dan, had the strange smoke around him. I asked Greg if I could see the pictures, he looked for them, but couldn't find them. I've known Greg for a long time, so I don't think he'd lie to me, but I do want to see the pictures.

I was curious, I wanted to know more. Another story Greg told me was one night, not too long ago, he was in Dan's house waiting for him to get off the phone so they could go out, when all of a sudden a loud crash was heard from the other room. Dan was in plain sight of him, so he thought there was a burglar. He rushed towards the noise and found the spare room "Trashed" He asked Dan why he wasn't startled at the noise, Dan replied "This stuff happens to me all the time" Greg told me "I think the kid is haunted" Well after listening to Greg for two hours, I have to say I agree.

Here are just some of the stories Greg told me about his best friend Dan: Greg was watching Dan's house while he was away on business. When he went over one night to bring in the mail, the sliding glass door was opening and closing. By this time Greg had enough and told the entity, "Either open it or close it" so it closed the door.

Another time he and Dan were fishing, and they couldn't find Dan's tackle box. They searched the truck inside and out, but no box. They went out on the lake and fished for about four hours, and when they returned, the box was sitting on the dashboard.

One night, before Greg was married, he was sleeping in his bed when he heard a creeking noise. He opened his eyes to see a cute, lovable older woman sitting in a rocking chair next to his bed smiling at him. She sat there for a few minutes and then just faded away. Greg said "I don't even own a rocking chair." For years after that night, he saw her again a number of times every once in a while. The strangest thing that continued to happen to him since that first night he saw the old lady, is that every so often, some of his personal belongings would disappear. Six months later, he was cleaning out the attic. As he was moving the boxes out, there on a shelf, were all of his missing items.

Now, I don't know if you believe in ghosts, but Greg got me thinking. I've had quite a few strange things happen in my life that I can't explain, but nothing like what happened and is still happening to Greg and Dan. Greg thinks Dan is haunted, well I think they both are. I'm going to keep in contact with these guys. If this stuff is really happening to these two, it might be kind of fun to hang with them one night.

"Yeah Right!!!!!!"
