[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 1743370, member: 9646"] I have had a couple of unpleasant experiences that could be maybe attributed to a ghost. Or at least to something immaterial. Three anecdotes, real, but how to interpret them?: [B]1)[/B] I was at home, a night, sitting on my bed and reading a book, perfectly awake. I don't remember what the book was about, but certainly it wasn't about supernatural things, neither about gaming. Room was fully lighted. I wasn't tired, just quietly reading. THEN, [I]something[/I] immaterial suddenly crossed my leg! Like a blob, but nothing was seen. I just felt something pass in front of me and go through my leg (which is and has always been perfectly healthy). The feel of it was unpleasant, alien. [B]2)[/B] I was at home, sitting on the toilets (!) and thinking about some technical problem. I say it so you can see my state of mind was very far away from any supernatural consideration.

About three seconds later, the "thing" (if there was one), at the speed I felt it move from left to right in front of me, would go through the bathroom's wall and enter the appartment next to mine.
