I've also had things go missing at home, then turn up somewhere right in front of my eyes, where I'd already looked.
a lost ring (that I never took off) appeared right in the middle of the bathroom floor, even though I'd searched on my hands and knees in there.
a sock I couldn't find appeared in the middle of my bed.
as long as it's not unpleasant, I guess it's okay :o/

I've had a haunting, and in answer to the earlier question by Octavius I did already believe in ghosts and that seeing is believing, I'm curious as to other peoples feelings towards that statement.
I have 2 friends who have been haunted and my parents had a very scary experience in Wales and my father is an arch sceptic.
If you don't wish to link ghosts to other things (like God) then that's your choice but these experiences of the supernatural once expressed and accepted (by the individual) should at least allow enough scope for the acceptance (but not agreement) of one's experiences and relationship with God and his works upon the earth.

I went to a "clairvoyant evening" with a group of friends. Ever the sceptic I gave the clairvoyant a bit of a hard time.
Then she said to me that I had a room at the top of my stairs which was never used (I did, the master bathroom, I lived alone and always used the ensuite) and that this was inhabited by the ghost of a 9 year old boy. I told her the house was only 8 years old and it had been a field beforehand. No matter said she. In fairness, there were odd things that happened, but I had always put them down to my own scattiness and stupidity (like finding my fags in the fridge and my door keys in the dishwasher!), but the cat walking across the room and freezing with hair on end was a bit spooky.
So that night I had to return to a dark empty house alone, with the idea sown in my my mind that I was harbouring a fugitive. So i decided me and "Billy" as I lovingly called him from thereon in, would have a chat.
So to an empty room I explained that this was my house, and he was to live by my rules, he wasn't to mess with my stuff and he wasn't to scare the cat and as long as he behaved I wouldn't get the priest in.
I will never know to this day whether I was "haunted" or not. But everytime anything weird happened I would say "OK Billy, behave". Apart from slightly odd things happening (and I am a totally scatty cow) there was nothing massively weird and cats can be funny. Still it was vaguely amusing.
My last house however, (a 15 century farmhouse) was an entirely different prospect. There was a ghost thereof that I am sure - I never saw her, but my sister did. But I felt her presence regularly and I always knew that she was OK - there was nothing malevolent about her, just something very very sad.

I've never experienced a haunting, but I believe they are a real phenomenon for which we have no explanation yet. When so many people are describing experiences like ice.Maiden has done, it would be ridiculous and actually quite illogical to dismiss them all as either lies or hallucinations.
The fact that we haven't yet devised a scientific instrument that can record a ghost doesn't mean anything. Radioactivity didn't start to exist when we invented geiger counters.

A visitor to my old farmhouse said I had a ghost; a tall gentleman in long brown overall (dairymans garb). I said I didn't want to communicate and would my friend tell him to stay in the olde kitchen & I would respect that place for him....He's called George. My Irish friend (who takes the mick out of George) said he went home with her in her car and he wouldn't let her shut the car windows. She insisted I collect him......I refused, so she drove back and told him to get out of her car ;-) George nicks things for attention and has hidden my mobile phone - haven't got it back yet! Have just asked him for it so will let you know if it turns up.
Spock, dear, all the clocks and watches being put back an hour can hardly be ascribed to imagination. That isn't something you think you see.
Ludwig, The fact that we haven't yet devised a scientific instrument that can record a ghost doesn't mean anything. Radioactivity didn't start to exist when we invented geiger counters. That's an excellent analogy.
Sara, my purse went missing once. I searched for it everywhere, but to no avail. It turned up three months later on the arm of a sofa.
