but I had some pretty weird experiences. A certain book falling off of a bookshelf and later that same book falling in my daughters lap on the way to the funeral. I finally told whatever it was in a rather loud voice I would vaporize it if it showed up again. Haven't had a problem since.

It had snakes on the cover and my daughter was scared of that book for a while. Having it land in her lap put her back into the being scared of it again.

Sometimes his ghost shows up at my house and I am not sure if it's the Jekyll version or the Hyde version.



The ghost has pulled some disturbing mischief so I am going to answer with a qualified "yes".

This was taken in an old abandoned brewery in Brooklyn, and this room was well know to host this ghost.
The building was bought by some investors who have fixed it up, and I shot that photograph.

In the past few years, there were at least 3 people who swear they saw a "a very strange old man" in this room, and one of these people was a worker who ran screaming and would never set foot in the building again, not even to collect his paycheck. A number of other people saw things like this mist, or "felt really weird" in that room and even felt things like taps on the shoulder.

I was in this big room with a couple of other people, and I took a picture of the guy in the green shirt looking into the smokestack. When looking at the picture a minute later on the camera display, we saw that "ghost" image.

At the moment this was shot, someone on the other side of the room yelled "what the hell is that?" and a third person didn't see or hear anything, but wanted to get out of the room right away.

Point is... there was a story about a worker who died in the brewery in the 40's or early 50's, and apparently the guy was an asshole.

Still is...
