I have only had one ghost experience. My OH and I were staying at an old coaching inn in the Cotswolds and, during a conversation with the barkeeper, he told us that our room was haunted. I scoffed. He insisted that a former innkeeper was reputed to roam the wing in which we were to spend the night. I scoffed some more.
Later that night, as we were retiring, we heard the unmistakeable sounds of heavy keys being ominously rattled in the corridor outside the room. My OH looked alarmed. I leapt from the bed, ran to the door and threw it open...
...to see the barkeeper sneaking off down the corridor with a large bunch of keys in his hand.
I haven't let OH live his timidity down, as you can well imagine.
As for the barkeeper, he caught the sharp edge of my tongue, as we say, the next evening.
