5. That is how I felt when my dog's "ghost"

visited about 5 times in the week after her death and it was calming each time since I was wide awake like you were. Once you experience it yourself you become a believer in the "there's something out there that we don't know about" club. Shakespeare was right. I am an atheist but God and whatever it is I experienced are two separate things to me.

I was teaching at a school that takes students on local historic tours and one place was to one of the most haunted houses in the country, the Whaley House. The teachers had great personal stories that happened to them while there.
