      It happened over 20 years ago. I wouldn’t believe it myself if I hadn’t seen it and had someone point it out to me. My friend didn’t even say anything so there was no expectation for what I would see when I turned around. It wasn’t a creepy setting, being daylight and eating lunch. I haven’t seen any since then.

      I make no claims on what a ghost is, it could just be residual or glimpses through time, glitch in the Matrix, who knows, probably not a conscious being and it did fade away so possibly not even permanently around. All I know is there appears to be some rare phenomena that can be pointed to and briefly observed by multiple people. Of course there is only my word on that and I am just a person online so it makes sense to be skeptical especially in modern times. Given the topic seemed a fun place to share my experience.

        I’m an atheist myself because I have never personally had such an experience, but I think it is unwise to dismiss the experiences of others. Just because I have never seen something doesn’t make it an impossible thing. It just makes it very difficult for me to understand the experience because I have never had one like it myself. I always tell myself that maybe that will change someday and so will I.

        Thank you for sharing your experience.

          I’m an atheist too besides some interest in Buddhist philosophy. I consider what I saw as more like something residual, not a conscious soul walking the Earth. But honestly I have no idea.

          I do like the idea that something could exist still scientifically undiscovered though. In modern times we can’t just go into the wilderness or hop on a boat and make a new discovery. The low hanging fruit has been found before we were born, and in a way it has made things more mundane.
