A Ghost?

I can't really say I believe in ghosts, but things happen that sometimes make me wonder about the paranormal. For a very long time, I have, off and on, noticed a dark shadow glide across the floor. It moves swiftly like a black cat. I never give it much thought other than it might be some shadow or reflection. But, this winter MK mentioned that she sometimes sees a dark shadow race across the floor, and sometimes she sees it in her room.

This Christmas I received a bottle of Estee' Lauder cologne. I shut it in my closet because the scent is too strong for me. Every once-in-a-while, while resting in my bed and watching TV, I suddenly notice the scent of my cologne as if someone has sprayed it. This is while it is still shut in my closet. I figure there must be a little draft escaping under my closet door.

Today, MK and I were on the couch in the living room on the farthest side from my room and yes, you guessed it, I suddenly got a whiff of the cologne . . . as if someone had just sprayed it. My ghost is definitely a lady. I think it must be Mrs. Casper who previously owned this house. She must be Mrs. Casper, The Friendly Ghost!
