hubby says he has seen a ghost five times so far.

[lowresidue]

Hubby has taken our dog to a local wood, and lets the dog go for a run.
He goes at different times and different days.
He came home and told me that he has seen the same woman ghost five separate times so far. Tonight with bonnet wearing woman made him jump when she popped up in front of him. When he said 'you made me jump', she smiled nodded and walked away from him.

He was quite serious but I asked why he thought she was a dead/ ghost? He said because she is wearing a long coat and a bonnet type hat.
AIBU to suggest that this woman isn't dead, isn't a ghost and is an odd lady with a strange fashion sense?
He is quite firm she is a ghost, and walks along the path but not on it though the trees.

personally I am glad we are going on holiday soon my hubby really needs it asap.
Then again AIBU?

Repeatedly posting ghost stories is repeatedly posting drivel.

The woo stories aren’t put on MN as works of literature: those who do it aren’t the new Mary Shelly or M R James. They’re just perpetuating drivel!

Not one thing has been said in the hundreds of credulous posts of ghost accounts on this thread that is remotely interesting on the subject. And the ghost lovers have the nerve to call ordinary sensible people tedious!

I suppose it all comes down to whether you think that being foolish and gullible is something to be proud of. Or not.

If you don't like drivel just scroll past and leave everyone else alone

Like a dog with a bone..

I know what I saw and I do not need a keyboard warrior's judgement

Ah, thanks AnxiousPeg.

Such lovely people these ghost folk.

ghost folk

oooo woooo ghostie folikie

Thing is, you're probably right. Most of it's probably bollocks. Perhaps all if it.

It's your absolute refusal to consider the possibility that you might be wrong that's so irritating.

And, by god, wouldn't it be funny if you were proved wrong.

Like a dog with a bone

On a thread asking whether it’s unreasonable NOT to believe in ghosts...

You have to be kidding, surely?

Whatever.

Ah, I see Plimmy is still here desperately trying to exert control over the thoughts and beliefs of strangers.

Yeah, I’m still here. Still objecting to the endless, pathetic nonsense that you’re posting. Still willing to put up with your wittering.

Explaining common sense to you is like pulling teeth. But I’ll take the hit for the rest of humanity.

Must make for an interesting life, having such a huge ego.

Such pent-up rage must be hard to bear, though. Ever thought of trying meditation?

Logic, sense and normal human interaction aren’t your things, are they?

Well, I am making logical deductions about your personality based on your posting history. You may not like them, but they are based on your own conduct.

I didn't think normal interaction was your thing, though? Getting all baity and aggressive with strangers because they disagree with you does not pass as 'normal interaction' in my circles, but each to their own.

What are you trying to achieve Plinny

Nothing. I’m agreeing with an AIBU.

What are you and all the other woo evangelists trying to do?

Are there any more stories or are people just arguing now?

🤦‍♀️

For crying out loud. If you can't tolerate having your beliefs pulled apart don't post in AIBU. If you can argue your case, great. If you can't, spend sometime working out why.

Play the ball, not the player.

Just keep on asserting your superiority and everyone will fall into line...

I'm just curious. How is it that the skeptics are frequently accused of feeling superior and having large egos, but not the believers? Can anyone explain this trend? It's fascinating.

"For crying out loud. If you can't tolerate having your beliefs pulled apart don't post in AIBU."
I can understand people. It liking having their beliefs "pulled apart" what I find difficult to understand is how angry people get when they say "I saw a ghost" and someone else says "Have you considered these other explanations for what you saw?"

Well, if we're that boring @Plimmy, why are you here?

Wooooooooooooooo
