Nothing really happened to me like that but I remember a story that my cousin told me (I think this is one of the times he wasn't jerking my chain).
It was in this house they lived in a long time ago (They as in my cousins and aunt/uncle), about when I was in my pre teens I believe (And just before my youngest cousin of that household was born). Well actually he told me this story years later but I am just saying how he told it. My cousin would sometimes get up late at night to go to the kitchen (And all the lights were off I think).
And they had these stairs that went down to the front, and he says everytime he did walk pass it at night he saw this man in the shadows just sitting (Or standing) there, not moving or doing anything, and that he had like half of a face. He would then run to his parents room (He's like four/ years younger then me, so he would have been under 10) and sleep there.
They moved out since then but whether the story's actually true or just his imagination who knows. Me personally I haven't really encountered anything weird.
Well actually maybe I have. Here's one or two stories: My grandfather died back in 2002 I believe and since then I kept this hat that belonged to keep, a sailor's hat and place it up on my wall where it was hanging on one of the nails things as to remember him. (I had nothing that was owned by my other grandfather/great grand mother since they died when I was a baby).
About quite a number of years, a year or two ago I was just sitting in my room on the computer doing some crap when suddenly the hat just falls from the wall and onto the ground. Maybe it was the nail being stupid or something hit the wall, or somehow it vibrated off but the thing is that hat never moved at all since the day I placed it up there after he died, and that was 6-8 years ago, so why all of a sudden fall off?
It's done it later so only twice, so who knows if that could count, maybe it was just my grandfather showing he was still around or something that can be explained.
You know I got to wonder though, let's say all of these are ghosts for real, why do they just stare at you? What are they perverts or something? Or maybe they are just looking at what they once had, life. Still it seems a bit weird that they wouldn't attempt to communicate with you rather then just standing or sitting or walking alongside an deserted road and stare at you creepily.
