"The Stone Tape" is completely different, it's just ordinary technology
researchers trying to go about their business and stumbling over
something that is left mostly to the viewer's imagination.  The terror
doesn't come from what is shown, it comes from what is *not* shown, but
slowly forms as an idea in the viewer's mind as the layers are peeled
back.

It depends what you mean by 'ghost' - I have never seen a gliding figure
in a white sheet moaning "Whooo!" but I have seen some very strange
things that are not accounted for by conventional knowledge.  I have
also experienced an overwhelming feeling of dread in one particular
location -- many years later I mentioned it to a friend and found she
had had exactly the same experience at the same place.

A week after our mother died, my sister and I both had a very strange
experience.  She sounded me out cautiously, in case I ridiculed her, but
I knew exactly what she was going to tell me and confirmed that it had
just happened to me too.
