have you ever seen or heard something ghostly?

I was visiting the town library in the north of my county many years ago - doing some historical research for a project I was going to run with my students. I went up to the top floor for the map room and photographic records and discovered the library was built in the same place where 400 years ago - town executions were held and then 150 years later, the same location was the "insane asylum" or mad house as people used to call it.

Anyhow, there was nobody around and I was engrossed in some really old maps when I felt something with what felt like small claws settle on top of my head. I'd experienced that claw-like sensation before as a child when I used to capture chameleons and try and make them into pets.

I kept still, not wanting to scare or harm whatever it was and when the feeling went, I looked around and there was nothing there but dusty old books. I went to the 2nd floor helpdesk (the only other people on that floor) and said someone may have lost a pet bird or lizard as I had felt it land on my head.

The lady looked really scared and said it wasn't a pet or an animal and that none of the librarians would go to that area after 4:30 in the afternoon by themselves. She wasn't keen on taking the reference book I was holding as she would have had to take it back.

Eventually she did, saying she would take it back the next morning and then she went and closed herself in the office. I had a train to catch so I didn't have time to hang around and explore.
 
it was in a youth hostel in Scotland, in a Jamuary many years ago
I was the omly guest in the building
next morning i was slowly woken by a scrtching noise
still half asleep, i thought the others were pushing things along the floor
then i remembered that i was the only person in the room
i slowly opened my eyes ... and there was nobody in the room

but there beyond the window i saw a figure in black against the sky
i could not see any face, oanly a black solhouette
arms outstretched an scratching on the window glass, lika trying to get in ....

i screamed .... GO AWAY .... and the figure disappeared

my room was on the third floor ..... so whatever it was could not just have run away

i went slowly to the window and looked out .... there was nothing .....

but i had not dreamed .... on the contrary .... this thing, whstever it was, had made me wide awake ...
